snoop1130 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Two charged for spreading fake coronavirus news By THE NATION The Digital Economy and Society (DES) ministry has been closely monitoring news and rumours regarding the coronavirus outbreak on social and online media via the Anti-Fake News Center Thailand to ensure that people receive only verified news and not to cause panic among the public, said minister Buddhipongse Punakanta on Thursday (January 30). “We have discovered that there are many fake news about the new coronavirus and are working with Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) to investigate and arrest the offenders,” he said. “So far the TCSD has identified 15 sources of fake news via social and online media,” said Buddhipongse. “After investigation we found that six of those sources have violated the section 14 (2) of Computer-related Crime Act B.E. 2560: Uploading falsified information into a computer system which may affect the national security, public safety or may cause public panic.” The DES Minister added that two of six offenders had been arrested and charged. “As for the other four, investigators found no intention to cause harm on their parts and were let go with a warning after signing a police report,” he added. “Tracking down these offenders are challenging and often take some times, as most of the fake news spreaders use fake names when registering to a website. Some even register from a proxy location abroad,” Buddhipongse added.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think in a way there is fake news about that virus all over the word all over the media. Because let's look at the real risk. How many people are sick? How many people died? And then compare those number with how many people die every day in traffic accidents in Thailand alone. The virus risk is for most of us 0 or very near to 0. Why should we worry? 7 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus risk is for most of us 0 or very near to 0. Why should we worry? I understand what you say but I don't think anyone's worried about the current death rate, which is miniscule. I think they're worried about exponential growth of an asymptomatically contagious virus where 25% of cases get serious. Yeah, most of those survive with appropriate medical care, but the death rate might rise dramatically if medical services are overwhelmed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Tips for keeping virus free. Wear face masks during visits to Big Care. Tesco or 7/11. And use the alcohol gel to clean the shopping basket or cart's handle. Insist that any bar-girl you might fancy keeps her mask on. Don't keep touching your face or other peoples' unless you are sure they have not got the virus. Don't share tooth brushes or chopsticks until virus has gone. Simple things are sensible and could keep us alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
