Popular Post rooster59 Posted August 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thai police banned from using Facebook; letter circulated online Image: Daily News A section of the Royal Thai Police has apparently been ordered to stop using Facebook. A letter purporting to come from the Protection and Crowd Control Division cites "safety concerns" and "sensitive government data" as reasons for the ban. Police have been told to stop posting information and pictures as this might damage the image of the force. The order was issued in a letter from Pol Col Banleusak Saengsawang. It was dated July 31st. Daily News said the order was causing much comment online and so far they had been unable to ensure its veracity.

Popular Post londonthai Posted August 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2019 1 hour ago, rooster59 said: Crowd Control Division If the order comes from this police division it might mean it has to do something to do with riots, big demonstrations, worker and student strikes. I would think that this order in not about what officers might write on fb, but what they can read and share. That’s why it’s a total ban. Police, and soldiers, might become demoralised by reading opinions about police, politics, government and the king, including lese majeste content, which are all widespread on fb, other social media and on internet. Those ignorant goons, fed with state propaganda, will carry on oppressing population, as they already do. That’ why order came from this, and not any other, police department 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 If that is in fact true, how on earth would the police control their personnel using a free global application to communicate? All switch to Whatsapp, Line, Twitter to name a few? Really stinks of false news. If I was in the police and I received an order like that, I certainly wouldn't follow it, especially on my off time.

The image of the RTP has been damaged to the point where it is totally beyond repair. But given that PM Prayut has now taken personal control of the RTP it could get worse; if that's possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucegoniners Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Isn't that a bit of an overreaction? If the guy wants to post pictures of his kids and dogs then let him. If he's doing something inflammatory then crack down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unamazedloso Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Lol, my local cop friended my wife so i friended him as you do. He then was starting to stalk our friends and like and love sexy pics and such. The guys a douche what can i say but he did like my 0-300kph runs on the big bike and all the other highly illegal stuff i wont mention. Had to delete and block him though as it was becoming real embarassing to descent normal friends???????? He had 5k friends and all little girls. Yeh, i reckon he shouldnt be a cop. Best not to hide who these people are. Spozd to b protecting the citizens but they are just all corrupt usless scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrogaz Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I see cops all over the place staring intently at their iPhones. I assumed, naturally, that they were working extremely hard on important projects, not playing on FaceBook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
