snoop1130 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The new digital economy and society (DES) minister, Chaiwut Thanakhamanusorn, is set to get tougher with fake news aimed at undermining the government and the monarchy — intensifying an unfinished mission launched by his immediate predecessor. Chaiwut, 49, said “quick and concrete actions” were needed to deal with “problematic websites” in order to maintain peace in the country. The outspoken politician from the core coalition party, Palang Pracharath, was speaking to Government House reporters shortly before taking his oath of office before His Majesty the King on Saturday (March 27).

Popular Post connda Posted March 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2021 The term "Fake News" is simply the moniker used to censor speech that doesn't fit the narrative of the current ruling class be they government, corporate, or otherwise. World-wide, not just here. So the message is essentially that this ministry will work to implement censorship schemes domestically. I wonder how they handle news coming from outside the country like Germany? I guess one just crosses their fingers and hope there are no German reading Thais domestically or you firewall off German publications from within Thailand. They're not doing anything that isn't now being discussed in the "democratic, free" West. This move toward authoritarianism seems to be going global. A truly free and independent press is a rare animal nowadays. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSM Press outlets and journalists just print directly from Govt handouts, and criticism is censored, ridiculed, or branded "fake news". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
