anfh Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 So this relates to actual Internet cafes etc. They would already be doing this by default since they have computers a servers already. cafes merely providing WiFi connection For your phone via a router would not be able to do this anyway, as with any establishment providing free WiFi. I doubt whether there are many expats, tourists etc who vet use an Internet cafe anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterian Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I sometimes let the local kids sit outside my house and log in to my WiFi. I guess I will have to change my password and stop doing this now as I have no idea who uses it or when, let alone storing that info for 90 days.

chang1 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Storing this kind of data is not a problem, security and how it is used and/or manipulated, is a huge problem in countries run like Thailand. Oppressive laws such as les-majeste make it very worrying. Until Thailand has proper democracy and freedom of speech, never say, write, print or especially enter on any keyboard anything that can be used against you even when not in the country.

I carried on normal without getting her suspicious that I knew, that's difficult to do mind you, you need to be very calm. When she had her tantrum I said to her, "Calm down, don't worry, aren't you enjoying yourself?" This last bit made her suddenly stop. She stared at me without talking. That's was fun when I thought about it years later. She is well educated had worked for few years in the Bahamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marin Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Moved here 31 years ago to escape all the rules and regulation of the USA. Never visited Singapore as it has too many rules and regulations. Slowly but surely this has all changed. Now we have as many or more stupid rules and laws here. All since the Army took over. The Thai citizens are waking up to this as well. Something brown and stinky is going to hit the wall in the near future. Since time began the Thai's have had a healthy disregard for petty rules, well they are not even petty rules anymore. Watch out Army boys, its going to happen.. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tops Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I predict a new scam by the RTP, walking into a cafe with Wifi. asking them for the wifi log files over the last 90 days. As most cafe / bar or coffeeshop holders don't have any knowledge how to get it they will make an "arrest" but this all can be solved with a "cup of tea" paid by the manager !!!!

Dogmatix Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I am not an IT expert and I wonder, if those log files show anything of interest to the police, if someone browses in a coffee using a VPN installed in his phone or notebook/tablet. Does the log file simply show that he connected with the VPN or does it show more detail of what sites he visited and anything he posted there?

moldresistant Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Easy to not get tracked here, or anywhere if you take the time to learn how. Use a VPN provider (I use Mullvad and pay with bitcoin, no personal info needed) Use a DNS provider (I use 1.1.1.1 which is Cloudflare) If you're really paranoid use a Libreboot computer with free software.

Now look what has happened to freedom of expression in both countries. It is a tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
