Popular Post webfact Posted August 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2019 Army chief voices concern over the spread of fake news Thailand’s Army Commander-in-Chief, General Apirat Kongsompong, has expressed serious concern over the spread of fake news, some of which seems intended to discredit the government and the military. He said that, while he did not want to describe the use of fake news as “mind manipulation”, he had observed that some people, when repeatedly exposed to fake news, gradually become influenced by it and finally believe the fake news is true. In addition to the police being tasked with investigating fake news, General Apirat said that the Ministry of Digital for Economy and Society is in the process of setting up a centre focusing on fake news and the military has taken steps, within its authority, to monitor the problem.

Can't argue with him on this. The most visible and risible victims of fake news are known as yellow shirts or Padites. They have been absorbing the military's propaganda for decades until they now believe whole heartedly that only they have the right to be called loyal and worthy citizens. Anybody who questions the propaganda that they themselves have swallowed they look down on and label ignorant peasants who must be suppressed and disenfranchised.

Popular Post Puchaiyank Posted August 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2019 I get the impression that any news that he disagrees with will be considered fake news...his people may soon become the clearing house for "all" news to ensure it meets his approval...

The rule requiring O-A visa applicants to have insurance cover was due to be implemented on July 1st. Then there was going to be an announcement about it this week (last week).

At the time of the recent bombings he blurted out that the bombings had been done by the same people who did the Bangkok bombings in 2006. Seemingly he forgot that no one was ever found responsible for those bombings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
