No, they're not like the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge slaughtered large numbets of their own people, for the sake of their warped political and social ideology. They were probably best described as evil, ruthless, entirely cruel and without any vestige of mercy. They operated in an entirely isolated country with no media or contact with the outside world. Not even North Korea comes close to the horror that was the Khmer Rouge.

This bunch are a collection of bullying political dinosaurs flailing around trying to control a hostile if for now fairly placid population. Faced with media and communication methods which they really don't understand, and which are avidly and constantly consumed by much of that population, they are responding with techniques and actions more appropriate to the age of telephone tapping and censoring newspapers. An era from which they come and in which they are firmly stuck.

They don't understand how people in their own country think and communicate, let alone globally.

The Khmer Rouge were truly ghastly. I can't decide whether this bunch of dinosaurs are sad or funny. Bathos?

 

Great post!

Yes, quite possibly.

The next logical step is of course to make 'informing' a 'legal' requirement under penalty of 'law'. It's really quite frightening.

 

Stalinesque.

What's next, schoolchildren being told by their teachers to report their parents, family members and neighbours ?

 

Will the regular  ' inappropriate comments ' made by senior officialdom be investigated if reported ?

Of course not as people know what awaits them if they were to make such reports.

 

Hope no one's told them about the SNP's "named persons" idea.

Now if they start to offer a bounty on reports, say 5 kilo rice for everyone you report they can kill 2 birds with one stone...

 

get reports and find a use for all the over stocked rice mountain

Pavel Trofimovich Morozov was considered a Soviet hero in 1930, he gained notoriety for denouncing his father and was glorified as a martyr on his death some years later.

In 2014, it was 500 per complaint if they could show proof of someone causing confusion to the public. 

Not sure if that reward is still available now. But wouldn't surprise me.

You mean the Khmer Rouge led by Pol Tinpot?

"What's next, schoolchildren being told by their teachers to report their parents, family members and neighbours "

Yes. that's what they did 40 years ago next door in Kampuchea.

So what ? Back home in the western nanny states , there are snitch lines to the government. Mostly to snitch on tax & wellfare "fraud" . You know , spy on neighbours and family that you're jealous of , because they have it better than you. And recently governments asked to keep an eye on suspicious activities with all the terrorists attacks . What's the difference with spying on facebook ?

Is calling this moron a <deleted> inappropriate. OR can I push the boundaries further. Dick head lol

I never understood why people uses FB, since its inception, I never liked this website. An orwellian perpetual left-liberal group think tank. Facebook is great only if you are using it to promote your business and you are getting a lot of clients out of it. But if you are using Facebook to kill your time, then you are doing it wrong. delete delete delete........ kudos to China for blocking this evil site.

The difference is that this isn't about suspected terrorist activities or benefit fraud etc but simply ' inappropriate comments ' which, very carefully, haven't been defined and can therefore be whatever the powers that be deem.

At this time it may be thought it's all about LM but as we've seen the junta members are very thinned skinned so comments about their inability to do a good job, corruption and looking after family and cronies etc etc are likely to be dealt with.

It's all about control.

As far as I can ascertain, there are only two countries in the world where Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (the blueprint for all that is happening) is basically banned: N.K. - and Thailand. Need one say more?

I wonder if Thais realize Facebook is an American creation? Maybe they could rely on a Thai creation. Oh wait.... where can that be found?  Wouldn't it be encouraging if Thais understood the decorum of civilized/modern societies more? Or perhaps concentrate their efforts on alleviating Thai corruption. 

 

Is Facebook part of BIB now?

It must be spreading,I have seen whole threads disappearing from this forum, not looking good.

I believe Thailand good buddy China and its government would fall into the same "encourage your friends and neighbors to rat you out" category.

Naturally ' encourage ' will be used but the real meaning is that it's a must do and that will be made clear starting with the school children.

The whole package will be wrapped up in the sales pitch that it's what a ' good ' Thai would do.
