Thailand convicts Webmaster for posted site comments

"Google and human rights groups reacted strongly on Wednesday to a Thai
court's decision to convict the webmaster of an Internet message board
for comments posted by users that insulted the Thai royal family."

governments want to control Internet content. They vary in their
approaches and degrees, but free expression of the sort the Internet
enables, fundamentally undermines traditional information control
regimes.
