Media Reform Committee Considers a Crackdown on Online Media Using Article 44

Thailand is moving towards darker times

These measures will incite the population...especially modern youth.

Perhaps even soldiers themselves to rebel

Hopefully a bloodless coup within a coup,

And court Marshall of all NCOPC

Great news

Thailand needs a trigger.

Attempting to shift to "" no opinion "" or "" freedom of expression"" does a few favours .

It forces automatic sanctions by western countries placing domestic downward pressures.

Immediately will jolt people travelling there as most use social media.

The spin off are unimagined by junta.

They will hit the streets on mass before it goes down.

In my opinion

I wish I shared your enthusiasm but seriously, what have the West actually done to counter the most damning effects of this self imposed draconian junta? One measly flag against Thai aviation from the US, a continuing 'threat' by the EU to red flag fishing (what, we up to five 'chances to improve' now?) Lots of talk and precious little else. Oh, notwithstanding the very current KT2 disgusting (UK) debacle. Money number one everywhere it seems.

Won't be long now before every male Thai must have their hair cut the same as Prayut.

It's not too bad a haircut for a man in his 60's, better than Kim Jong Un's commie style mess!

The governments social media dept. will love that comment, 99.3% of foreigners like the PM's haircut 555

And not a grey hair in sight!

This report has an undeniable foul odor to it...smells somewhat like a unwashed crack-down...

If there was total transparency across the board from all three institutions that control "Thainess", media censorship would not be required.

We're not living in the dark ages and policing free speech, indicates the absence of a democracy.

That committee is made up entirely of Chinese? Figures.

Yep, all four are Chinese Thai--Thainese or Chintai......

My friend Pik told me "Thailand was never invaded by a foreign nation, but we were invade by Chinese sperm....
