Thai King

[Hamburger]

Problem is not the Facebook.

 

It's the content.

You all don't understand. The monarchy is there so that the elite in Bangkok can manipulate things and preserve their power. But now their king is a highly unpredictable person... He was never meant to be king. Thaksin heavily bankrolled him at a time when his Lao Peh cut his allowance...

 

His sister was the one who was supposed to be the first female monarch of Thailand.

The Facebook social media site was still available in Thailand on Tuesday despite threats by authorities to block it if Facebook did not take down content deemed threatening to national security.

 

The telecoms regulator said last week it would give Facebook Thailand until Tuesday to take down 131 web addresses with content deemed threatening to security or which violated strict lese majeste laws.

 

The threat prompted a flurry of concern among users in Thailand, the most Facebook-active country in Asia.

 

Morakot Kulthamyothin, president of the Thai Internet Service Provider Association (Tispa), which includes 19 landline and mobile ISPs, as well as major international internet gateway operators covering 90% of the country, said there was no plan to block access to Facebook in Thailand yet.

 

"We haven't discussed that action to shutdown Facebook," Mr Morakot told reporters.

 

On Tuesday, Takorn Tantasith, secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC), went to the Tispa head office to inspect whether all 131 posts authorities had asked Facebook to block had been taken down.

 

He was expected to speak to reporters later on Tuesday.

 

Days after the May 2014 military coup, the Information Communications Technology Ministry temporarily blocked access to Facebook saying it had received orders to do so by the military in order to suspend content critical of the military.

 

The junta denied it had ordered the action.

 

The military government has since ramped up online censorship, particularly perceived insults to the monarchy.

 

Last month, the junta aso banned people making any online contact with three vocal critics of the monarchy.

 

Last week the NBTC secretary-general said the Ministry of Digital Economy would file a complaint with police this week to press charges against Facebook Thailand under the Computer Crime Act and commerce ministry regulations.

if ban FB, google, mean youtube and other social media all kena. Thai people will go crazy without them    

[Sosaria]

 

No more FB in thailand

 

 

 

If the king does not want to be seen like that then he should not behave like that. Simple.

 

Can imagine the outcry if they ban FB, as thais are very heavily into social media, FB and LINE. Data plan so cheap there.

 

Thai people, pity them, still living with quite anachronistic mentality, i.e. respect monarchy, accepting their rigid social classes unquestioningly, the vast divide between rich and poor ... all very strange in a modern well-connected world.

[Lala81]

You gotta be some kinda stupid to repost this kinda picture in Thailand. Lest majeste is not a joke over there.

Unless u are an elite over there. A commoner would be seriously stupid to even not delete the image or clear the Internet history straight away

I think he's creating problems for his handlers. He was never their first choice. But the late King never took the significant step to remove his crown prince title despite their exhortations

The succession didn't go according to the old king's wishes?

[Tianmo]

If I have a king like that, I like!!!

 

Because if my king say, " be yourself and live your own life", I like very much.

[Chongster]

But what possesses him to wear a cropped singlet though??!!!! It's a completely bizarre choice of outfit but he seems to like that look?!?!?

[Fcw75]

Because he can and he want.
