>A much-needed computer crimes law has been passed in Thailand, going into effect in mid 2007, but the results have baffled Internet freedom advocacy groups, with one labeling it “incomprehensible. “ The drafted Act appears overly broad, since an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is defined such that anyone allowing another to use their computer becomes an ISP. In fact, lending a data storage site or resource also makes one an ISP, despite the fact there may be no hookup involved.<

.. this almost seems aimed at internet cafes .. goodnes knows what has been written / sent over internet cafe computers ...

>While the law admirably comes down on spam and nud_e pictures, which is important, given Thailand’s rampant child prostitution history, it could be easily misused to jail folks like bloggers who posted messages of political dissent. In fact, this has already happened.<

>Not surprisingly, a blogger was recently held for two weeks for his online comments.<
