The cooperation benefits the government because it shortens the process of blocking web addresses, the source said. It also helps avoid misunderstandings between the government and Google on what will be categorised as inappropriate content. "The government needs strong assistance from Google to permanently remove all the web addresses showing inappropriate videos on YouTube," the source said. Earlier, ACM Prajin said the government was monitoring and tracking 100 people either posting or making comments with inappropriate content insulting the monarchy online. The government also set up yet another "war room" to monitor and block inappropriate web addresses 24 hours a day by working with the two state-run Cyber Security Operation Centres.
