Thai woman faces legal charges for telling lie on Facebook

[EyesWideOpen]

A tremor shakes across Thailand, as the endless Thai girls posting on Facebook

realize they can go to jail if they tell a lie there.....

What is the actual offence anyway, posting crap on facebook? So someone says they got let off fro drink driving on facebook. Isnt there more pressing crimes for the police to worry about?

I am confused - she was stopped for driving without a licence and is claiming to have been pissed at the time but police are saying she wasn't???

yeah dont really understand and what doas ' backing' mean?

About time that TVF changes it policy to use real names on here instead of profilenames.

A many would be in similar trouble as the woman.

I am guessing that the actual offence is making public accusations of corruption within the Thai police force, and the fact it was done on FB via computer means it falls under the Computer Crimes Act.

Anybody know if she has been poked yet?

You can't make this sort of absurdity up.

What is 90% milligram of blood alcohol? I have never heard of that sort of measurement. Like saying I have one kilometer of beer in fridge.

How about going after 90% of Thai women that post on Thai dating sites? "I no have boyfriend", "I have no children", "I have good office job" etc etc

You are correct, what she has stated has no meaning.

You can have X mg per a specific volume etc, ie mg/lt.

If you have 1km of beer in the fridge, you will have many friends and a very large fridge and 90% will be still pissed the next morning.

her only mistake was not realising that when she posts something on savefacebook, that what she posts (can) remain visible indefinitly if it gets 'shared', irregardless if her subsequently deleting it from her own timeline

maybe she was on drugs too, and it dulled her senses?

The only other outcome to watch for: is to count the number of other people being arrested, for 'Liking' what she Posted...

I am assuming its a spelling mistake..... irregardless. Wha I'm not sure that is a word......???

[tifino]

oh well... ok if irregardless was a soup, then the soupnazi just sent me to the back of the line...

maybe I was just being a little urbane??? https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=irregardless oh! the perplexity of it all...

I have a very serious question. how is this different than almost every comment made on a TV about Thai police and government?

A.

She needs to choose her FB friends better. Having 2000 FB friends means you have 2000 strangers who can jam you up.

B.

Thailand needs to learn that FB is not the real world. A FB post can not only cost you your job and friend, but your freedom as well.

Good point, but how do you explain that to those young 20 and 30 something females who take selfies of themselves all day and post them on facebook, sometimes with a ridiculous and completely irrelevant ramble who post these pics to try and get likes from all their "friends" in order to feel better about themselves and their empty lives?
