The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has cautioned its members to be mindful of their words, as conversations might be recorded, sparking discussions about privacy and digital vigilance.

 

In a now-deleted post on the official RTAF News Facebook page, Air Chief Marshal Praphat Sonjaidee advised personnel to exercise politeness and caution, particularly during phone interactions and content creation.

 

“Your conversations may be recorded,” he warned. “Politeness is essential, both in and out of uniform.”

 

The announcement emphasized vigilance during phone calls, noting that voice recordings, CCTV, and screenshots could impact careers and reputations. With digital surveillance on the rise, Praphat highlighted that even private messages on apps like LINE could be misinterpreted if shared.

 

He suggested face-to-face communication for discussing sensitive topics to prevent misunderstandings from digital exchanges.

 

The caution extended to content creators within the force: follow security protocols and maintain operational secrecy, particularly with AI-generated content blurring lines between truth and manipulation.

 

Social media conduct was also addressed, with Praphat urging personnel to stay focused despite potential online negativity. “Do your duties with pride. Don’t let online negativity break your spirit,” he encouraged.

 

The removal of the post without explanation has led to speculation about its intent—whether as a general reminder or a reaction to a specific incident remains unclear. The message underscores the increasing need for awareness in an era where privacy can easily be compromised.
