How can we blame people when most of them are limited to a single language of communication? If they only communicate/consume Thai, hard for them to parse truth from fiction.

Yes, totally agree.

 

We have tools like Google Scholar etc to seek for clarity and knowledge, these days a simple Google search cannot be trusted.

 

Got to sympathize for the Thais

Hmm ... hard to define what is "fake news".

 

Really two types: 

1. Sharing news you know to be fake, and

2. Sharing news you believe is true, even though it's ultimately found to be fake.

 

If only the Center could get inside the mind of the ones sharing ...

The center screened 455,121,428 messages.

That is a gigantic number within 2 years.

 

That corresponds to 623454 messages per day. It is inconceivable that everything should be individual public messages. There would have to be a gigantic staffing level behind that, when every single message is actually read. Hard to believe that this number is true. Old Orwell would turn around in his grave.

What exactly was screened and in which sources remains unclear.

 

Not really; Deep Learning technology can eat this stuff up in a heartbeat.

I would like to add a third category, perhaps the most important from the Government's point-of-view :

 

3. News that is incompatible with the official narrative.
