Samui Bodoh Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Is there no limit to the things they want to control? The way things are going here, it might be time to give up the Net altogether. And start looking for a new country. It is a sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatawonderfulday Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Well actually it appears the loonies are getting loonier, not least the Thai junta who masquerade as a government. That said I would fully support any official body with the balls to ban FB user who post picture of food, idiots kissing each other or basically anything that a Thai cares to post, So whilst the Junta appears to be a bunch of undemocratic morons then if they can actually stop the crap that Thais post then good for them.

BigBadGeordie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) “The staff should collect information from the accounts they find have the potential to break the law in the future.” A brave new world indeed, users will no doubt be sought out by the DFC ( Department of Future Crimes) a specialist section of the TP (Thought Police).

rkidlad Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Even if they do implement this, it will all be gone once a democratically elected government is in place. Freedom of expression is a fundamental of democracy. Hang on - I just googled what democracy means. Ignore my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 How much longer will the Thai people put up with this sort of parnoid BS before they come together and rise up against this dictatorship. It is becoming increasingly obvious we all need to have an exit strategy in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more to the new law. It's for all social media and TV would apply. All net users will be required to use their ID and registered SIM (if mobile) to access the net. So yes, this will impact everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
