WordPress Blocked in Thailand Too

According to Global Voices, Thailand joins Turkey in having blocked access to the popular WordPress.com blog platform and hosting site.
On August 22th, 2007, access to wordpress.com blogging platform has been blocked by TOT (Telecommunication Authority) preventing Thai Internet users from accessing Thai Wordpress and all blogs hosted on wordpress.com. “A notice has been shown when trying to access any Wordpress page: “Sorry. TOT Plc., as an organization of Thai people, has restrained the access to this website as it contains content, text, and/or picture that is unappropriated which affects the mind of Thai people all over the country and cannot be accepted.”
I have written to WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg to try to find out why it’s been blocked.
