Watching the Floods from a Safe Distance

Used to watch a government operated webcam of the Bangkok riverfront.  I noticed the river level rising.
Recently the cam was taken offline for public viewing.  Access codes are now required to view the cam.
Is it censorship or did the cam receive too many visits to be of use for official purposes?

Bangkok High tide is expected Saturday morning approx. 7 am
Again Saturday evening approx. 7 pm
