Be careful with absolutes. I don't remember Putin ever saying anything in public about Evan Gershkovich for example.

ah, I fully understand the intent now.

do you have a VPN ? that would solve your problem. I'm not an Apple product user, so I don't know much about Mac, but I'm very surprised they allow gateways to mess with clients' DNS settings.

I'd be amazed, because right now there are no tools to even just properly translate from and into Thai.

you two, please read the articles of Thai Law : https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-defamation-sections-326-333/

It's not that simple. There are different aspects to what people commonly call "defamation". If proven true, a defamation is not defamation anymore but can become in some jurisdictions "denigration". Damages from denigration include for example the loss of business a company would suffer because of lost sales (regardless if the claims made are true or false). I'm not sure if the customer's complaint would be able to show damages of that nature. I'm not knowledgable enough of Thai law to give relevant details, but OP should consult with a competent lawyer.

You are correct in the sense that contractual obligations can be stipulated in contracts, including the arbitration court or instance, but a lawsuit will in most cases always remain an option, especially when at least one of the parties is a private person. That's why I make a distinction between "contractual obligations" and "Rights". A private person enjoys rights granted by positive law ranked higher than contracts (for private persons), such as a constitution or consumer rights. This might be different from one country to another. We basically agree.

ToS can never cancel a right. You can write whatever you want in ToS, people will always have the right to sue you.

no. I mean airbnb terms of use which users of the platform have to agree to. so, if using airbnb to book a room, you accept to be reviewed by the owner.

you could have asked airbnb if their terms of use include accepting reviews by owners - if they do, he's screwed.

you might want to be cautious, if he has his worldly possessions in it, he might be under a lot of stress and might not act rationally at all times.

yes, I missed the food from the old countries. then, I went back to the old countries and tried the food that used to be "cheap as chips". that food that is still "cheap as chips" is <deleted>e now. if prepared correctly, the good food that used to be "cheap as chips" is now freaking expensive !

The GLiSDiBs are six months late BTW. They were first announced for delivery in the summer 2023... I don't know the reasons for the delay. Boeing is co-building them with SAAB - oh well, at least they can't loose doors and I hope SAAB built the guidance system.

Don't worry, the GLiSDiBs have arrived in Ukraine. Better news are coming soon. Boom here, Badaboom there.

a relationship with a hooker can only work if she continues to work.

RIP. completely nuts

nice. the fine is not nearly high enough for what he pulled off AND not having a license. he should have been locked up for a week or two, just to teach him life. the car should be confiscated if it's his. if it's a rental, the rental company should be fined heavily if they rented it to him. if someone else gave him the keys to their rental, they should share the fine with the driver.

read up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outreau_trial and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMartin_preschool_trial and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkney_child_abuse_scandal this type of case is very difficult, the proof must be undeniable.

both Benz and BMW manufacture EV in Thailand.

quite the opposite, I wish the prick in the OP would have been fined more, maybe together with a license suspension, and all the other pricks as well !

yup what a prick ... YET the manoeuvre was far less dangerous than many others I have seen on Thai roads, done by drivers that were not fined 12.000 baht.

The question is about broadcasting videos filmed in public. My opinion on this narrow issue is : 1- it should be legal to video anything happening in a place legally accessible to the public 2- if some people who are filmed during their private or covert time/activity become aware of it, they should have the right to request to be made unrecognizable in any broadcast 3- people shooting videos of other people while these are on their private or covert time should be required to provide ID on the request of any people they filmed private time means not "obviously" working, not wearing a uniform, not exercising any official or public office/duty/capacity at the moment the video is made. This means - plain clothes police officers openly wearing their badge at the belt or on their jacket's front pocket can be filmed and can't request to be made unrecognizable. - workers wearing a uniform outside of their workplace or not wearing a uniform but obviously working in a place visible from a public place can be filmed and can't request to be made unrecognizable. - other people can request to be made unrecognizable and can request the ID of the photographer/videographer this is not how laws are now, it's just my opinion on how things should be. of course, there are other legal interests playing into it as well, for example public interest or whistleblowing / crime reporting, public figures, etc.

not so fast, enforcing laws is not the only role of police. one important role of police is "maintaining the peace". so the police has to intervene when controversies come up. that's what they have been doing here.
