Digital Economy and Society Minister Buddhipongse Punakanta has set out three policy fronts to pursue the Thailand 4.0 scheme.

 

Buddhipongse said these fronts covered digital economy, digital society and digital security. The Digital Economy and Society Ministry will also set up a Fake News Center to combat fake news in the country.

 

With the digital economy, the ministry will develop an online platform to encourage companies in the private sector to use digital technology to support their businesses. It will promote initiatives such as cryptocurrencies. It will allow users to access e-government services via a single platform.

 

On the digital society, the ministry will encourage people to upgrade their digital skills. It will reduce the gaps in knowledge on digital technology. It will also push for government agencies to provide services via digital channels to achieve a paperless system. The ministry will develop a portal and a mobile application that will let users reach these services.

 

Buddhipongse said that for digital security, the ministry will help government agencies monitor reports and news that hurt national security and in this way protect people from fake news.

 

The minister said that he has asked executives who manage government agencies under the Digital Economy and Society Ministry to submit proposals to the ministry within 10 days.

 

The ministry then will set up a new budget for the 2020 fiscal year and submit the budget to the Budget Bureau by August 9.

 

The anti-fake news centre will monitor news reports in terms of national security. The ministry is in talks with officials from government agencies on how the centre will be run.

What exactly is his definition of fake news which hurts the national security? Without a clear definition, his proposal is simply naked intimidation.

Yes, but this is democratic censorship, as opposed to junta censorship.

The government always takes the controlling position. 

Wouldn't giving information to the people in how to spot fake news, by education, be much more productive and positive and easier. 

The government is going about it the wrong way on this.

If it was a government and not a regime what you say would be applicable.For an "elected" junta they are doing things according to the manual of "The Elected Junta Handbook of Enforcement",which is a mostly pictorial illustration of how to intimidate the general public.

Who was punished for the mass leak of personal information of foreigners in the South?
 
The info included passport numbers, DoB and addresses

Of course they can spell it. Their copy & paste abilities are second to none.

The minister should also set up standard, accreditation and policies regarding the numerous polls generated by governmental and independent agencies. Polls have become the butt of jokes, often mis-leading and confusing and providing mis-guided information to the general public.
