Basil B Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 With the clampdown on mobiles and the Silk Firewall I would expect that anywhere offering Internet and WiFi will soon have to check the ID of users, terrorists do use internet cafe's because they can not be traced. P.S. Smile for the Camera, they will also probably have to have CCTV to ID users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdrwdrwd Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It is already the law I believe, and has been for nearly ten years - just most places don't follow it. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/206147-thailands-internet-law-begins-aug-23-requires-user-tracking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yes but this is not an Internet cafe it's just access to wifi using your own conputer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Terrorists can easily borrow someone else's ID I am sure the checks are not as strict as immigration I mean who goes to a coffee shop with their passport Also giving out my information does not stop terrorism it help criminals access your data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdrwdrwd Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I agree, I think it is daft. But it is the law, and the fact it's just wifi is irrelevant."will be required to store all internet traffic data" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yes but this is not an Internet cafe it's just access to wifi using your own conputer But when you use WiFi, you are using the provider as a gateway to the internet and their IP... Should the authorities wish to track any user of the internet they will use the the IP address to try to track the user, it is common that if I use free WiFi even in the UK I have to register to use it.
