Thai MICT: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Hack ‘Em!
The folks over at the Ministry of Information and Computer Technology here in Thailand just keep up the great work.

What can they do to top their random and ridiculous website block lists?
Well, they can hack websites they deem offensive to the Thai character:
The Information and Communications Technology Ministry is to ‘hack and crack’ foreign websites deemed offensive to Thailand’s revered institutions. A March 15 report in Krungthep Turakij newspaper (www.bangkokbiznews.com) quoted a source at the ICT that the ministry could pursue legal proceedings only with websites registered in Thailand, and is now planning a ‘hack and crack’ programme to hack offensive websites hosted abroad and delete their contents, because the legal process would take too long.
Wow. What a twisted mindset.
