Internet service providers will face legal action and have their licences withdrawn if they refuse to cooperate with the government to block websites deemed to be defamatory to the monarchy, the ICT minister warns.
Juti Krairiksh said yesterday the scheme is part of a new action plan to be implemented over three months.
The crackdown on defamatory websites was agreed upon by the Information and Communication Technology Ministry, the Justice Ministry and the Culture Ministry after a meeting yesterday which was arranged in a concerted effort to implement stricter measures against those who defame the monarchy.
The three ministers later signed a memorandum of understanding for the joint operation that will take place in three months.
