Why Thailand 4.0 needed new computer crime law

BANGKOK: -- The new computer crime law has faced sharp criticism from human rights advocates, but the majority of those in online and other digital businesses welcome the legislation.

 

While freedom of expression and access to information on social and other digital media will be more strictly regulated under the new law, the protection of intellectual property rights such as copyrighted online content will improve to pave the way for a more sustainable digital economy.

 

The new rules empower the minister for digital economy and society to appoint a nine-person committee tasked with screening online content. With the court’s approval, the committee may remove content deemed inappropriate from websites and other online platforms.

But actually, it's to protect Thais from hearing or reading the truth and to protect the government from people who want to speak it, because what they did and what they are doing is wrong. So, so, so wrong.

Wonderful post, Debate101. Heartening - to anyone with a heart and a soul and a vestige of humanity and sense of justice - to read.

Remember kiddies, the internet is all about money not freedom and expression of thought.

This may be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Although the younger generation respect/tolerate/"understand" the three pillars of society it's not to the extent of the older generation who have been exposed to years of propaganda.

The youngsters will not tolerate someone jeopardizing their on-line addiction and it may just be this that makes the small people finally stand up and be counted.

Or alternatively we'll all have no more Internet :-(

In the Bangkok Post today the PM was quoted as saying the amended law is needed to protect public morals as the term public morals is written in the law. Guess this means the govt will be determining what is moral or not.   Hope everyone's morals are inline with the current govt's morals.

Just like it's wrong in USA and China?

Everybody agrees these new laws are good and exactly what Thailand needed.

 

Except those few who speak up, but luckily thats only a few percent of the population. 

All the others support it completely.

 

How do they know? Hmmm, because they don't protest against it they must be supporting it, right?

Who the H believes this crap. Astounding. People willing to give up their freedoms to a government of questionable integrity. Right out of Mr. Xi's playbook.

As I always say - it is not for nothing that, almost uniquely in the world today, Orwell's stunningly predictive Nineteen Eighty-Four is banned here.

 

As Orwell said: 'In an age of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act'!

Truer words were never spoken. But in the future words will not suffice.

And censorship is all about having other people think for you and throwing expressions of concern about concern for intellectual property to hope it makes people support it because they think it will be good for them. And hoping Uncle Sam will believe it too!
