The Thai government announced Friday that it has decided not to sue internet search giant Google after the company agreed to remove 12 YouTube videos considered insulting to Thai King.
"We have the deepest respect for His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej," Google wrote in a letter to the governement. "We likewise respect Thailand's law and tradition and hope that we will be able to reach a mutually acceptable resolution to the current controversy."
One clip depicts shoes with the soles pointed toward the king's image a major taboo in a culture where feet are considered extremely dirty and offensive.
