MaxLee Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 social media which could lead to anxiety among the general public Oh my word. Causing anxiety gets you jailed. Very very bad retrograde step for freedom this one. Revealing government's corruption is a crime, but it's okay for the super Elite, to dress as imposter monks, acquire assets, or murdering people with ferraris, and XXXXX_cuse your "Innocent" children from driving berserk into buses.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grendel Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You know I think there may be a military coup, I'd really advise people to stock up on water and food as there may be a shortage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre0720 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A great number of people have reason to panic on Thai roads every nanosecond because of the life threatening driving and non-existent discipline on the roads. No resources and no time for that... Oh but now people might panic inside their homes.... because of a coup that might happen and affect just a few people there at the top ....

WhizBang Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Four people to be summoned for posting unwanted texts on social media Unwanted by WHOM? But, good grief, is this what this maladministration has come to? Really? Sad times ahead for Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emptyset Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 social media which could lead to anxiety among the general public Oh my word. Causing anxiety gets you jailed. Very very bad retrograde step for freedom this one. I think the stockbroker that got four years in jail for commenting on the King's health in 2009 was also jailed for this, wasn't he? Causing panic? In any case, it's not a new law. It's in the Computer Crimes Act that the coup government brought in. So PT's seems to be: 'We disagree with the coup and the constitution that came from the coup, but we're happy to use the draconian measures introduced by the coup government as long as it benefits us'. Of course, no one should ever, ever, suggest the military would step in and oust an elected government in Thailand. That's just putting false and confusing ideas into people's imaginations, and must be punished. Also, I wonder if Jatuporn will face jail the next time he comes up with a spurious coup rumour? Or does it only work if you say it to your friends on Facebook, and not to a crowd of thousands which is being broadcast live on cable TV? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Its just whats happening to many of the Worlds governments, they want the general population to say nowt, don't even dare to think, they want us living in fear,so they can control us,it been going on for years,now its getting worse,they monitor our phone calls, emails,follow you on the street with the CCTV cameras, next step will be implants I am sure. When George Orwell wrote 1984 it was seen as fantasy, would never happen, how true he was,and it will only get worse under the guise of threats from the Muslim world, they have taken over from Communism as the way to pass laws,tell lies (whoppers) WMD and it lets Governments do anything they want. regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 By creating a tempest in a teacup, anal-retentive officials are bringing lots more attention to the offending posts, than the posts would have gotten, if officialdom hadn't made a fuss.

bigbamboo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Don't tell them about Thaivisa or we'll all get jailed. My advice to posters is that from now on you mask your comments with a veil of irony. Thais just don't get it. Mind you, neither do most Americans. So my advice to them would be don't post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plopmeister Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Can i summons True Corp for the repeated sms they send day after day ? This gives my a headache . Everybody should text Muhamud Jon Eddy of DTAC every minute night and day untill he realises unsolicited SMSs are not welcome.....Many American business estates in the old days used to have signs up preventing unsolicited callers and yet THIS American CEO doesn't give a toss about intruding on our private lives.......Oh of course we can go to an outlet to get them cancelleed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyuk Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I guess it all boils down to the old addage of the monkies "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil".
