The New Cyber Security Bill- Or Why A VPN Should Be Used When Online..........

[teacherclaire]

  

In February 2019, Thailand’s government passed a controversial cybersecurity bill that has been criticized for its potential to enable sweeping access to internet user data.

 

It gives authorities the right to access emails, telephone records, computer data and even postal mail without court approval (1).

 

Then, in October 2019, Digital Economy and Society Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta announced that coffee shops must keep WIFI user traffic data, known as a log file, for at least 90 days in line with Section 26 of the Computer Crime Act (2).

 

This sounds startling, but an increase in the monitoring of web traffic began a number of years back.

 

Microsoft W 10, Facebook, Google and a lot more service providers are already spying on your data. You don't have to be a criminal to protect your data. If the government is able to spy on you, then also hackers are able to do so.
