Fake News Center to open by Nov 1st at the latest

 

   

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of a Digital Economy and Society plans to open a Fake News Center by November 1st at the latest, to combat the information problem. It will focus on four categories of inaccurate news reporting which might affect the public.

 

Digital Minister Puttipong Punnakanta, said today that the coordinating committee of the Fake News Center has set up four subcommittees to screen the various categories of news which might disrupt public peace and national security. The four main categories of news in question, refer to natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes, dam breaks and tsunamis; economics, the financial and banking sector; health products, hazardous items and illegal goods, and government policies.

 

The Fake News Center will identify information or data which may not be factual, to verify, analyze and clarify it for the public, via three major channels: a website, Facebook and Line. Operations of the Center which is expected to open in November will be accurate, credible and fast.

 

The committee meeting considered protocols for analyses of fake news, in line with international standard platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and Line and plans to consult with representatives of those platforms and all cellphone service providers to encourage them to take part in the delivery of countermeasures to expose fake news.

I was under the impression that fake news / false flag news would be some kind of state secret but I guess they've made a government department to generate it.

 

I already don't believe a word of what 'they' say.

[ezzra]

I foresee as much success combating fake news as in the efforts to eradicate fake products, and fake people in this country...

[DannyCarlton]

I wonder if they'll have TV on speed dial?

Talking of fake, the answer to your sig file: "Where is the next Frontier?"

 

[Banana7]

Now Thailand begins censorship of the truth.

 

They will manipulate and destroy anything and everything that the government powers decide is not supportive of their goals or policies.

 

This is the beginning of Communism !

 

So now only the Government's fake news is permitted. Like TAT's BS numbers, economic forecasts, Immigration forcing foreigners to pay fines for their landlord not filing TM30's,  etc. etc.
