Facebook to consider removing illegal content in Thailand
By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Facebook said on Tuesday it will consider blocking illegal content on Facebook in Thailand on a case by case basis after receiving requests to do so.

 

Asked by The Nation to react to a joint request by ISPs in Thailand to block 309 URLs deemed illegal by Thai courts and authorities, a Facebook spokesperson replied that Facebook would scrutinise the content and consider blocking it.

 

“When governments believe that something on the Internet violates their laws, they may contact companies like Facebook and ask us to restrict access to that content. When we receive such a request, it is scrutinised to determine if the specified content does indeed violate local laws,” the spokesperson said. 

 

“If we determine that it does, then we make it unavailable in the relevant country or territory and notify people who try to access it why it is restricted.”

 

The spokesperson added the practice was not specific to Thailand but was applied in all countries.

In a recent lengthy manifesto, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook plans to evolve its community standards to make them more personalised and culturally relevant to different communities.

 

"The guiding principles are that the Community Standards should reflect the cultural norms of our community, that each person should see as little objectionable content as possible, and each person should be able to share what they want while being told they cannot share something as little as possible. The approach is to combine creating a large-scale democratic process to determine standards with AI to help enforce them.

 

The idea is to give everyone in the community options for how they would like to set the content policy for themselves. Where is your line on nudity? On violence? On graphic content? On profanity? What you decide will be your personal settings."

 

"For those who don't make a decision, the default will be whatever the majority of people in your region selected, like a referendum."

Whack-a-mole.

 

Good luck.

The look of shock on so many faces in Thailand if FB was banned would be priceless.
