Six people sentenced for criticising Chon Buri governor over long funeral lineups

Featured Replies

When everything goes smoothly, we don't need bosses, and the fat cats can pretend to be in charge.

 

But when there is a problem - in Thailand, Farangland, government, big busines - we would need competent bosses.

They are never there at those moments.

Where is the line drawn in the sand on this?

 

If I go to a restaurant and I'm served bad food and I post this online can I be thrown in jail. 

Yes, a food critic in well known newspaper got fined in a defamation lawsuit some 8 years ago. 

This was when Thailand was a "democracy".

That’ll teach you to argue with and criticise your social superiors, peasants!

No. These people lied and intentionally sought to  defame the Governor. They were told to stop, but kept up spreading lies and falsehoods.

Good on the Governor for tracking these people down and prosecuting. It's about time the  instigators who spread false information are stopped.

It was updated just over a year ago:

“First, under the original CCA, users risked unknowingly violating vague and constantly changing legal standards. The amendments have made this ambiguity even worse by effectively giving the government a “blank check” to press CCA charges against any dissidents. Section 14 in particular gives too much power to the state to judge the (il)legality of various digital actions, with a list of increasingly vague crimes like disseminating “obscene” data or creating “false” information that is “likely” to threaten “national security, public safety….or public infrastructure serving the national interest.””
