Internet censorship is effected in Thailand by two methods. The Royal Thai Police blocks approximately 32 500 websites and the Communications Authority of Thailand a further unspecified number directly at Thailand’s Internet gateway.
The Ministry of Information and Communication Technology (MICT), blocks indirectly by informally “requesting” the blocking of websites by Thailand’s 54 commercial and non-profit Internet Service Providers (ISPs). (sorce: wikipedia)
Country: Iran
ISP: Shatel
Iran uses a filtering proxy that displays a blockpage when accessing blocked content. Heavily filtered types of content include pornography, provocative attire, and circumvention tools, which is characteristic of states that use commercial software such as SmartFilter. ONI testing also found significant blocking of content related to homosexuality, particularly if it had any connection to Iran; Farsi-language news sites; and opposition political sites.
Country: Singapore
ISP: StarHub
ONI found that only seven Web sites tested, all relating to pornography, were blocked.The blocking of only these high-profile sites suggests that filtering is indeed mandated for symbolic, rather than preventative, purposes.
