Restrictions on Lese Majeste posts

[Scott]

 

Thailand remains under the close watch of the Thai military and the rules related to Social Media and posting on ASEAN NOW will follow the guidelines set forth by the government and the military. Here are some things that you should consider when posting:

 

All suspects in lese majeste cases, national security cases, violators of ISOC orders will face court martial. In the past, discussion of the lese majeste law has been allowed, but due to increased scrutiny by the government this will no longer be permitted on Aseannow.

 

Any discussion of the Monarchy or members of the royal family in a political context can result in a ban. This includes vague comments that could be construed as referring to the Monarchy.

 

Please use discretion in your references to the government. Phrases which can be considered as anti-coup will be removed. Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed. Any posts which can be construed as rumor mongering are not allowed.

 

Posters violating these rules and the forum rules will receive a warning, a possible suspension of posting privileges or a ban from the site.
