We can trace where the messages originally come from," Pornchai said. He spoke at a press conference at Government House on a LINE Sticker campaign to promote 12 national core values.Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Yutthawong, who was also present during the event, said the LINE sticker was in line with Prime Minister and National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) chief General Prayut Chan-ocha's policy.They were based on His Majesty's guidelines. For example, the values encourage filial piety towards parents, guardians and teachers, morality, integrity, generosity, and sharing.Pornchai said people could download the stickers for the 12 core values for free between December 30 and January 28. They expected three million to 3.5 million downloads, he said."The sticker production cost is Bt6.6 million. With VAT, the cost reaches Bt7.1 million," he said.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/LINE-messages-being-monitored-30250439.html-- The Nation 2014-12-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverSure Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Actually they can develop software that will monitor for certain words or phrases and log it and give an alert. It still takes a human to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejonesbkk Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 eh, how on this sweet earth does it cost $200k USD to have some DIGITAL pictures produced?? They should be monitoring where the budget for this is going not peoples Line chats. Perhaps they should follow this a bit more closely themselves: They were based on His Majesty's guidelines.

Bluespunk Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 "If you receive LINE messages that offend the monarchy and threaten national security, you can lodge a complaint with police.

ExPratt Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Good , I think everyone and everything should be monitored and if those people don't have the right NCPO spirit then they should be reported and re-educated for their own benefit.

Of course for real, prime monitoring tips he should go to the USA, UK or maybe even Australia. You were born, raised and educated in the west. In all likelihood, it is because of this you can afford to live here. If your health fails or your luck takes a turn for the worse, you can return and seek help, yet you never seem to have a good word for western people or society. Your attitude is contemptible in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The best New Year message I can convey to Thailand is to Grow up, your immaturity prose is showing , take a big breath and think why are all these messages that offend certain Thai senses are being written , the subjects that are being monitored I myself wouldn't waste my time in composing, Verdict: Police State.

They should be monitoring where the budget for this is going not peoples Line chats. Perhaps they should follow this a bit more closely themselves: They were based on His Majesty's guidelines. For example, the values encourage filial piety towards parents, guardians and teachers, morality, integrity, generosity, and sharing. What does filial piety mean? And who came up with those stickers. For 7 million I thought they would be really nice pictures that I could send to friends. I wouldn't send these to my enemy, even for free. Nothing special about them at all.

h90 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 "The sticker production cost is Bt6.6 million. With VAT, the cost reaches Bt7.1 million," he said." With VAT??? The government buys something, pays VAT and the revenue department collects the VAT again. So on the big picture the government buys without VAT. I would have made him the sticker for 1 Million Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
