Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn said today (Monday) that he will invite media representatives for talks, to resolve misunderstandings about recent media gag orders issued by the government and possible cooperation between the two parties in tackling fake news.

 

He explained that the measures, imposed under Section 9 of the Emergency Decree and deemed by the media as an infringement of free expression and media freedom, are intended to deal with disinformation or distorted information which may lead to public panic or misunderstanding and are not intended to be a gag on the media.

 

The minister said that he trusts the professionalism of Thai media in the performance of their duties and in the media organizations in regulating the conduct of journalists, in line with the media’s code of conduct.

    Doesn't matter what the intent is. What matters is what is written in the law, word by word, as that is what will be used in court, not what those who wrote it "intended".

    Seriously, I have no idea of how a grown man can speak such lies and keep a straightface?

     

    I guess wealth, face and personal power trump integrity, honesty and a moral compass everytime with this creature and his ilk, shameful really but not surprising....
