BwindiBoy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I can't see the junta getting less heavy handed - they appear to be turning the screw............and as things get progressively more out of hand one suspects this is the usual reaction of this kind of government. It surprises me that the authorities seem unaware of how this sort of action will reflect in thw eyes of th international community........it certainly won't inspire confidence in most of their trading partners...... There was an item on the BBC News channel half an hour ago, about freedom of speech / censorship in China, Malaysia and Thailand. They made specific reference to the law in question and the increasing length of sentences being imposed. The world is taking more notice...

robblok Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I wonder how safe we are posting on here? it is getting that bad Don't post if you don't feel safe.. And I agree the Junta in this case is going overboard. Especially staging a protests against the students and using that as an excuse. Its quite bad at the moment, they should just put the guilty on trial and be done with it. That is the only way to prove they are against corruption.

VINCENT2012 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 You are NOT safe. Anything posted is subject to interpretation. That includes "liking" posts which express attitudes deemed illegal. I wonder how safe we are posting on here? it is getting that bad here no problem, they dont take risk, they read all our post and make the censure before others can see it....!

ryguy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I can only wish that thousands of Thai's at the same time could band together and post something "like" something on Facebook that supposedly would be committing LM. It will take the government by surprise and they could in reality do nothing about it and then it could spread internationally and it could possibly be the downfall of this regime and anyone who comes after them knowing that at the minimum the law needs reform and really should be completely abolished from the constitution entirely along with reforming all defamation laws here as well.

Crash999 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 How can posting information about corruption be called Lese Majeste??? Depends what he said in the post. But it could also just be defamation similar to the two people who got into trouble for criticizing the Krabi police on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
does Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Aren't we over-reacting just a tiny little bit? How can posting information about corruption be called Lese Majeste??? The posting of information violated the computer crime act.He pushed the like button on a picture deemed anti monarch. That gave him the second charge of LM. At 27, he most likely did not know he was committing a crime. Another life destroyed over a Facebook post. They need a committee to hold free seminars to make sure very young people and old people understand clearly these 2 laws , as I suspect most of the convicted had no clue they were committing a crime. That is complete rubbish. What these clowns in charge need is hundreds and thousands of citizens pushing the like button on FB. They can't lock up the whole country. The more people cower and submit to these arrogant demigods the more they will gain confidence. This is how the nazis got into power. Time for people to stand up.

tuanku Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) In 1940 Charlie Chaplin made a very funny movie about a soldier who accidentally becomes a Great Dictator whose speciality is a certain style of public speaking. This of course relates to Nazi Germany and bears absolutely no resemblance to events in Thailand in 2014/5 so it is definitely not worth viewing and having a quiet smile at. And definitely don't view Chaplin's final speech. Edited December 10, 2015 by tuanku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micmichd Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The "infographic" is misleading, Thai authorities don't dress like that anymore. Maybe oK to report if taxpayers' money is waisted, "corruption" means this was done by intent. If this was true, the whole planning staff of Berlin Brandenburg Airport would be behind bars, eg.

spidermike007 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Using lese majeste as a charge? That not only shows the level of desperation, but also reveals what a sham the use of that law is to begin with. The little man appears to be losing it. May I suggest he get back on his meds again? It was a really bad idea to stop taking them. What, corruption in my administration? I told you I would do something about that. It is fixed. I perform magic. How dare you question me? I am Prayuth the Great. I am the ultimate leader. I myself am the miracle. I am the man. You don't question the man!

aussieinthailand Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 So it seems that the junta is following the navy's example of going after the little guy and leaving the big players alone. There's a nice piece on Wikipedia relating to this park and possible corruption, it has names and numbers, but like I said the junta wont touch the big players but if your alone then your fair game.............. This issue is getting bigger by the day and it could well spell the beginning of the end for the junta. Now where oh where are the few on TVF who love to crow the "good people" running the country and how they have done so much and mass progress has been all the doing of said "good people" where are ya guy's getting real hard to keep spinning this stuff huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategically, nonsense should be ignored, or else one is left thinking it may be more than "nonsense". The little general's overreaction solidifies any doubt about the issue. If he thought with his brain instead of his face, he would have welcomed the independent investigation with demonstrable transparency like the democracy he touts at the end of his road map. Unless, of course, the issue cannot stand the light of day as an overreaction suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoristheBlade Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I wonder if this web site is receiving "pressure" about it's content? If so, that would result in loss of users, hits and the most important .....loss of advertising revenue. As we know in Thailand MONEY talks, if the media across the board is loosing revenue will they act? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
