jay1980 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Facebook in Thailand is not just a social network, whatever you may think of FB (personally I am not a fan of the format and UI) it is also represents the ONLY online presence for many many SME businesses in Thailand. Shutting it down would have a serious impact on those businesses, their owners and employee's. I hope the powers that be are aware of this.

Was in Black Canyon the other day and relatively young husband and wife with her mum i think having coffee. Mum and daughter on mobiles, husband had 2 one above the other. I don't think I heard a word spoken the time they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were busy online posting something equally as fascinating as this? We are doing exactly the same thing online right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LannaGuy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 1 hour ago, anotheruser said: The percentage of content blocked is of no consequence. The government wants to dictate to FB what they can and can not make available. It isn't about a few off color pages but the premise that the Thai government can enforce Thailand's laws on global corporations. This is why FB would rather close down in Thailand than bow down. Google complied I hope FB does not and it's not about internet usage by Thai's it's about curbing the control of the junta which think s it can dictate, not only to it's own people, but to the world what they can and cannot say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it wonderful? The boys in control hopping round in agony after shooting themselves in their feet. Makes you wonder how effective they would be as a fighting force.

Phuketboy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Facebook should shut the service down themselves. Within weeks the people will be furious and the Thai government will be begging Facebook to reactivate all services. If he thinks he can dictate to Facebook like he does the Thai people, then he is a bigger idiot than people already think. Are there any intelligent people in the Thai government?

anotheruser Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 They should just end this kind of nonsense talk. I have the easiest solution to this and nothing gets banned or blocked. Levy an outrageously high tax on all internet connections whether they are home, Mobile or whatever. When you apply for a connection of any kind you are required to show you have at least 100,000K a month income and at least 3 million in the bank. People with that kind of income and above tend to be good guys anyway and the problem sorts itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In usual Thai manner they should tell Facebook to report to their closest Thai police station at their earliest convenience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
