Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Paiboon Wattanasiritham has announced plans for a ratings system for computer games and websites, restrictions on internet cafes, and protecting children's personal online information. ''We've found that the disclosure of such information on children in the cyber world is the reason why child exploitation is up so sharply,'' Mr Paiboon told reporters. National statistics show that around six million Thai youths are using the internet today, and the number of newcomers to computer games is going up by 2,500 each month.
