In what is supposed to be an open and free environment, political editing bias is starting to creep in. The local phenomenon that started in the US has started to pervade the global system. This is not the direct political editing that occurs in places such as China but that of one group's opinions suppressing another side's.

» For a while EDM has been the centre of focus for armies of festival-goers and it's still a definite staple of the music diet here in Thailand.
