Fake news, or blacked out?

[Bangkok Barry]

There was a report this morning (Thursday) that HM King's eldest daughter might have suffered a serious heart attack while running with her dogs in Kao Yai, and she was airlifted to hospital in Bangkok. Now it's vanished from Google News, in Thailand anyway.

 

Was it fake news that's been removed, or is there a news blackout?

It is all over the internet in various foreign news outlets and it is the headline news item on the Bangkok Post online.

I suspect that it has been removed because any reporting of the Royal Family, other than by the Family themselves or by the government is, or can be, subject to the LM law, section 112 of the current updated constitution.

 

It is also on the BBC world news website.

Thanks. I should have checked more widely. I was in Dubai once when the Ruler's son was killed racing his car in the desert, and there was a a news blackout on that. The only sign was solemn music on the radio instead of the regular programes. So you never know.

 

Interesting that it hasn't shown up on this site as a major breaking news item.
