[ga] Abusive domain name?: Thai Gov't Sets Up Site For Snitching On Royals' Critics

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Is this another example of a abusive DN?  You be the judge...
My verdict is yes.  Besides this Domain Name's DNS is an
awful mess, See:
http://member.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnslite.php?r=homepage&domain=protecttheking.net
and
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=protecttheking.net&token=07c045f8294744682305199216b09019

Thankfully I am not a Thai citizen or living in Thailand.... I am not
fond of  monarchies...  Seems this King isn't very open and transparent
and
does not respect the opinion of his subjects.  It also seems that
whomever 
( GKG.net?) the Thai parlement hired to host this Domain Name, is far
less 
than competant as well....
Sound familier?

  I also wonder what the Obama administrations soon to be new
security czar will be doing about allowing access to such a
very insecure DN?   After all it would be rude and politically
incorrect to offend the Thai King, wouldn't it?  So blocking
protecttheking.net may not be an option, but shouldn't it be
blocked in order to be responsible and prevent .GOV web
sites, networks and servers from being corrupted and perhaps
later hacked?  Whom will the President side with, his cybersecurity
Czar or the King of Thailand?   Oh the drama!  What a conundrem! >:)

In a move that would make the old eastern
German Stasi green with envy, the Thai government has modernized
a system that  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7871748.stm
allows
citizens to snitch on fellow citizens. 'Internet users are being urged
to show their loyalty to the king by contributing to a new website
called
protecttheking.net, which has been set up by a parliamentary committee.
On the site's front page it is described as a means for Thai people to
show their loyalty to the king by protecting him from what it calls
misunderstandings about him. It calls on all citizens to inform on
anyone suspected of insulting or criticising the monarchy.'  An large 
unknown population of political prisoners are currently being held for 
3 to 15 years in Thai prisons for being interpreted as insulting the 
monarchy.
