Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 Gen Prawit urges Digital Ministry to tackle fake news BANGKOK (NNT) - Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan has delivered the government’s policy for the Ministry of a Digital Economy and Society, to tackle fake news and illegal websites, while promoting online media literacy among members of the public. Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan said today that social media platforms have become hosts for social conflicts, sedition, and inappropriate expressions, urging the Ministry of a Digital Economy and Society (MDES) to take more proactive action, which includes blocking access to illegal websites and prosecuting the persons involved. He has called on the MDES to coordinate with the Royal Thai Police, the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, internet service providers, and platform owners, while implementing advanced technology to detect illegal websites and raising public awareness of online media literacy. On social and security sites, the DPM delivered the policy to the MDES to focus on assisting elders and underprivileged persons by promoting their access to digital technology, and to drive forward the roles of the National Cyber Security Committee to prevent cyber attacks. On the economy, Gen Prawit has urged the MDES to step up digital technology implementation to help the general public generate more income, drive forward the national 5G network and promote the utilization of this high-speed mobile network infrastructure. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-10-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RJRS1301 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 I wonder how he will manage this? Will there be a ministry of fact checking, for all government released press releases? Will they open the internet to full access to all overseas websites? This sounds more like a ploy to get further control of the internet and stifle any open discussion on government and other social issues. I wonder how long before there is an "internet based" movement to promote the PM for lifetime control. I note that his wrist is not in the photograph, not wearing the Piaget today? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Good move, watch boy. So... will that "tackling" also be directed at fake news coming from your OWN government and/or its agencies? Or is "fake news tackling" exclusively limited to content that YOU and your ilk find objectionable for a multitude of obscure reasons? Just asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Rolex in Jakarta many years ago, the hands stopped moving after two weeks. Chewing pabulum and sitting in sodden diapers is not my style, you have my permission to take me out and shoot me instead. I am T-rex. The OP - are we sure this guy's first name is not really F###wit? Edited October 31, 2020 by Lacessit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 All news is fake news when it doesn't suit your narrative. Just like 112, if I don't like you or what you say, I'll report you and lie about what you said to get you in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
