Net giants join govt on clean-up
The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), an industry association made up of eight internet giants, has agreed in principle to work with local authorities to tackle webpages and content that violate the law.
The agreement was allegedly reached Tuesday after a meeting among representatives of the AIC, led by AIC managing director Jeff Paine; the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC); and the Thai Internet Service Provider Association (Tispa) — to discuss policies and regulatory frameworks necessary for getting rid of illicit content, including lese majeste content.
