The agencies also want ISP cooperation to remove illicit video streaming on Facebook and YouTube from their local network server, called a content delivery network (CDN). Usually, providers such as Facebook and YouTube use them to speed up access to data and reduce demand on bandwidth. the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) hosted a meeting Tuesday that included ISP and international internet gateway (IIG) providers on how to better tackle illicit content. What is needed, Mr Takorn said, was serious cooperation from ISPs and IIG providers in three areas. First, they must block webpages with illicit content after receiving a court order or when their own monitoring staff finds such material.
