YouTube and Thai goverment is talking

YouTube has agreed to censor itself when it comes to the crime of offending the Thai King. YouTube will help the military government of Thailand to block videos that offends the monarch. Hopefully YouTube will only help the Thai government to block YouTube for that and nothing else. Offending His Majesty the King can give prison up to 15 years in Thailand. Normally offenders are just sent home and black listed from Thailand but recently a Suisse national was sentenced to 15 years for painting a portrait of the monarch black.
