FaceBook ‘likes’ can constitute criminal conspiracy in eyes of law enforcers

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

On Facebook is now a new clip about the Thai king, walking with his girlfriend in a (German) shopping mall.

Can't wait to see how Mark handles this. We he cave. Prolly. It's just bidnez.
But still I would like to hear him tell ThaiGov to stuff it & ThaiGov shuts down FB. WOW! Can you imagine?

I must say that King has a certain sartorial expression rarely seen from Royalty.
What do you think of all this Richard of Phuket?

After checking the pics in the article, all I can think is that it's a good thing the king doesn't wear budgie smugglers like Tony Abbot.

Potential Facebook ban awaiting court orders
THE MINISTRY of Digital Economy and Society staff has said it expects social media giant Facebook to block access to all 131 web addresses deemed illegal by authorities by the end of the month.

Facebook, meanwhile, was waiting for official court orders regarding the content in question.

Somsak Kaosuwan, deputy permanent secretary of the ministry, said yesterday that his agency expected that the URLs with content deemed illegal would be blocked this month.

He said the ministry had sent 24 official court orders in English to Facebook – each one focusing on a single web address – in order to support its request for the company to block the URLs, adding that blockage could be done within a single day.

Earlier, authorities gave Facebook until late yesterday morning to make the web pages inaccessible in Thailand while threatening legal action. However, none of the URLs were blocked after the deadline passed.

The 131 web addresses in question were deemed to have content insulting to the monarchy, threatening national security, depicting pornography or being involved in fraud.

Mm. I'm sure Facebook is all a'quiver.

While teaching in China, I was hugely frustrated by the Great Firewall of China which is actually pretty effective at keeping the outside world out. And then I discovered that not only does Google NOT agree with China's firewall policy, it openly publishes work-arounds to get uncensored access to the rest of the world, and provides server support for those who want to do so.

Can't imagine that Facebook has any more respect for draconian government policies than Google.

The next step is targeting anyone looking at illegal things on social media, regardless of whether they comment or like.

Lese majeste drive targets web viewers
Police are clamping down on lese majeste offences by shifting their focus to viewers of illegal content even if they do not post or share it.
The move aims to curb digital content containing or promoting breaches of Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese majeste law.

According to Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) chief Thitirat Nongharnpitak, users of social media will be treading a narrow path as police plan to target viewers in the crackdown even if they do not interact with those illicit webpages.

The move has been triggered by police limitations in tracking down producers of illegal content posted on social media outlets such as Facebook and YouTube, said the CIB chief in an interview with the Bangkok Post.
The CIB is a core agency in cracking down on producers and distributors of digital content deemed offensive to the institution of the monarchy.

According to Pol Lt Gen Thitirat, lese majeste cases involve three groups of people: the producers of illegal content; the viewers who leave comments, share content or click Like; and those who read or view without interacting.

Pol Lt Gen Thitirat said legal action was being taken against people who share illicit content and many claim they have done it unknowingly. The police are moving on to the third group to effectively stem illegal duplication.
"The third group simply follows and watches. They leave no comments. Police are acquiring tools to identify this group of viewers and investigate why they like watching [the content]," he said.

"Watching lese majeste content may be deemed wrongdoing."...
