PM Prayut warned that use of Facebook Live to share political ideas may be illegal

[tuanku]

In a country where criticizing a dog can result in a prison sentence anything is possible, even thinking illegally

By "critisizing a dog," I think you mean a round-about way to insult the people who, along with the military, are the reason Thailand is not "Greater Vietnam," and sharing in their low standard of living. One would have to be ignorant and/or a jerk to want to do that, in the first place.

Facebook = Zukerberg the Globalist, who is anti-sovereign nation and pro-transnational colonization of the world. He wants no borders and no national-cultures. Let's hope this referendum can be decided with Transnational-Corporate Propaganda kept out of it, to spite their billions in corporate and ngo tentacles - populated with mostly well-meaning useful-idiots who are clueless as to the big picture.

Better we listen to ill meaning useLESS idiots who are blinkered by propaganda and can only see the narrow picture.

If any group is responsible for Thailand not being assimilated by Vietnam (allowing the huge assumption that was ever on the cards) it is the USA who occupied Thailand with the consent of the Government of the day in the 60s and 70s and directed and facilitated and funded/equipped anti-communist activities. The Thai military would not have stood a chance otherwise. You give credit where it is not due.

Think i have to wait and buy my condo. I don't know where this is heading. Just when you think it can't get more stupid.

When is enough, enough for the Thais?

[hansnl]

Did my pilot make a mistake and land me in North Korea?

Suppose you have ever been to NK?

You must be, seen the certainty you write this.

Or maybe it is stupidity speaking?

If your pilot had landed you in NK, you would be in prison for a heck of a long time, or in an unmarked grave for an even longer time.

How many times must the PM warn against any from of criticism...and assembly to discuss the current Thai leadership?...

He loves you...why don't you love him?

You are his children...must he bring out his whip...and beat you into submission?

[arrowsdawdle]

Says the man whose job description is "illegally stole the government of Thailand from the people of said state"

[gyrosman]

freedom of speech does not happen here and more so if your from the WEST, must be the Buddhist training only applies to locals not others who live in the 21st century.

[gyrosman]

freedom of speech not allowed here.

[silent]

The way the laws in Thailand can be "managed"........breaking wind is likely illegal nowadays!

Obviously that hasn't been managed yet.

[gyrosman]

I was a teacher here for 3 years, Thailand needs to block FACEBOOK during school hours, it will never happen. Children mind pollution, oh future TUK-TUK drivers beating tourist

[falang khinok]

So now farangs near or far open ur ears to hear in ur country of choice it is ILLEGAL to express ur political views and share them with others this is one of the most fundamental human rights to express ones political views to organise gatherings stage protests join and organise demonstrations etc etc etc for these rights ur forefathers often endured torture hardship wars or similar but finally developed a society that has shaken off any kind of dictatorship so did anyone ever observed that aspect of ur choosenn land / choosen society of staying and financing a place of the complete opposite.....????

All freedoms are under siege worldwide, but the digital revolution will go forward no matter what.

[Balance]

Yup, marching forward toward Democracy.

[gk10002000]

Just wondering:

1: What law(s) might they be breaking?

2: Can they share their political ideas legally some other way?

3: How do you define a law when there is no constitution? Is the law whatever the junta says is the law?

Tough way to do business when you don't know what is what

[yellowboat]

As coups go, the last coup was so much better than this one. He is reacting like coups leaders decades earlier. The man has got nothing going for himself as a leader. He is just full of threats, strange nationalism and boring tirades.

It is far too easy to break the laws in Thailand today.

[NongKhaiKid]

Isn't any form of unapproved political idea illegal ?

With a name like biggles, you should be piloting your own aircraft.

[tartempion]

Why having a vote?

It's a waste of money.

Thailand has a prime minister and a government, let it remain like that.
