BANGKOK: -- Members of the National Legislative Assembly will meet on Thursday to consider a change to the Computer Crime Act amid concerns by Thai citizens over rights and privacy issues threatened by the new amendment.

 

The amendment passed its second reading last Friday, with changes made in some clauses including the controversial Article 14, said NLA member Pisit Pao-in, who sits on the subcommittee overseeing the amendment.

 

He said the NLA agreed last Friday to adjust Article 14, in line with suggestions by rights groups and Internet users, to overturn stipulations overlapping with the defamation offence in criminal law.
