Thai Gov’t monitoring online information

Thammarat Thadaphrom

 

 

BANGKOK, 26th May 2018 (NNT) – Security agencies are monitoring false, distorted, and fabricated reports online in a bid to maintain national security. 

 

Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has instructed responsible units to monitor online information and bring those who spread false information deemed a threat to national security to justice. 

 

Online fabrication and distortion is in violation of the Computer Related Crime Act, B.E. 2560, he said, adding that those found guilty will be subject to a fine and jail time. 

 

The deputy premier then pleaded with the public to check their sources before sharing and immediately alert a responsible agency should they come across fake news or information. 

 

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha was the latest victim of online news fabrication following the recent petrol price hike. A fake report claimed that Gen Prayut was telling people to fill up their vehicles with water if they couldn’t afford gas.

Please please please tell us how many people filled their gas tanks with water!

 

Inquiring minds want to know!

 

 

But alas, nobody is monitoring the monitors.

No doubt TV is one of those closely monitored online resources.

Do not worry folks, if TV is being monitored, they will soon get p|+|sed off getting error 520 all the time, then  they will leave us alone.

War is peace,
freedom is slavery,
ignorance is strength
and news is fake.

In respect to that Thai people normally can´t do or say the same things for two days in a row. Then I will suspect that if the fake news is really fake, semi fake, little bit fake, minimal fake, half fake or not really fake to not fake at all will differ from day to day on the same subjects. 

Anybody got that????

Dead friends do really loan out their extremely expensive watches for officials to prance around with.  Checks and balances are not needed in such a superior place like Thailand.  Just representative governments need such things

  Okay, let's give them the error code. It isn't fun anymore. 

I hear voice on my computer...

This need not affect TV. According to the government poeple doing the monitoring can only speak basic Thai, and can hardly speak English at all. They might as well monitor the Swahili Times.

This need not affect TV, though I expect Mr Paranoia will put in an appearance.. According to the government, people doing the monitoring can probably only speak basic Thai, and can hardly speak English at all. They might as well monitor the Swahili Times.

I do not have any knowledge of that, but you seem to have experience in that area. However, don´t be shy about it, it happens to the best of us.
I will also sincerely take you fountain of knowledge with me, so I can prevent such a disaster happening to me.

Not because I see any reason for it to happen, due to that I am equipped with something that us initiated call manhood.

I do have three of those guys in my place, do I have to scare? Do they work with the government?

So peoples very simples, take care very well, every news coming from the government (every day 20 minutes at every Thai TV channel, on Friday 40 minutes from Mr. PM. personly) are true, all other information (newspapers, TV, radio etc.) are wrong. So please let it confirm from some high authorities before you share it.

What to do if the fake, distorted, fabricated news is coming FROM the government.

 

It's a fine mess you've gotten us into now, Olie... ?

At 495 network requests just to load an article page, it is a miracle the site runs at all.

How are those 30 million baht watches going..LOL your day will come

Massive errors, but I think we can all agree this resource is invaluable for us. Without it, to whom would we all whinge? 

How can Prayuth be a victim of fake news? He's the worst offender... every Friday night. And just for the record, my car didn't work after I filled it with water!
