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

I wonder who really read the article and understood it. This is an interpretation of the law by the police. The judge however does not agree as he did not summon the person who liked the post as an suspect or co defendant but as an witness. I do agree however that if liking would be seen as a crime its a bad law and should be removed. I have always said that the defamation law was bad and should be removed too bad that non of the politicians in the last 20-30 years have done this. Probably because they all like that law to silence their enemies.

Many people leave their Facebook signed in all the time. How can you prove that someone else didn't click like. How are we to know someone didn't steal your password and sign in for you?

 

Again, this law will just be made up as they go along. They want the people to help eliminate corruption and take pics of people who ride their motorcycles on the footpath, but where do they draw the line?

 

I think Thais should just wear badges representing their social status. Different colours and insignias for whether you're a high up police officer or general, etc. If you have money, but no high ranking position, you can buy one. When you see these people, you must wye them, never criticise them and let them crap all over you. 

 

People in power, the more you draw attention to these things, the more you exacerbate the situation. You will be the architects of your own demise.

One of the big problems with all these 'Like' buttons, is that often there is no 'Dislike' button.  Without a dislike button there is no way of knowing what the general feelings really are.  Apparently it is not politically correct to have a dislike button.

If a person publishes on Facebook a statement which is defamatory of another person and a third person clicks "like" to that post, the like click may have the effect of republishing the defamatory statement by publishing it to a new audience ie those who see the second person's "likes".

 

Republication of a defamatory statement is a defamation in its own right and the person defamed can sue for that defamation. 

 

This is the law law in all common law countries and likely in Thailand also.

 

If you think a statement you see on Facebook is possibly defamatory it's unwise to "like" it. 

 

It is important is where your audience is when they see it. That's where the defamation occurs. That could be many countries if your audience (the people who see your "lies") are in many countries. The person defamed could sue you in each of those countries if they chose.

 

On the question of criminal conspiracy under the law of Thailand I have no comment. The civil liability I've detailed is enough to make one cautious about the "like" button.

The Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) has said in the past that anyone pressing “like” to a wrongful online status can be guilty as the Criminal Code’s Article 83 punishes a conspirator to a wrongful action.

 

“An act of liking a wrongful Facebook status is equal to signing to endorse such an act,” the TCSD said. “While likers may not have the direct intention [on the wrongful act], an act of pressing ‘like’ increases the credibility of such information,” the TCSD said.

 

 

Right! 

 

So, basically, all those people that cause a video of say a couple of horny foreigners shagging in a tuk tuk or Thai kids shagging in the classroom on their teachers desk by sharing, liking and commenting on the post are also guilty of a criminal act. Furthermore, police that share images and photos of an arrested criminal via the media/social media are guilty of endorsing criminal activity?

As his car keys were found in his pocket, it is more than likely where he parked it.

 

As there is quite a current (even with low water) in the Nan river running through Phits, it could be anywhere upstream. That is if he parked it by the river of course, if not then that expands the search area for it to the multitude of sois that make up Phits.. 

Most people have more than one set of car keys.......

When you exist in darkness then 'the light' hurts and the reaction is to generate fear because that's all that's known to you.

As we move into more light the power of the old school/old energy diminishes, so this fear-mongering is actually a good sign :violin:

So if I like something and another person doesn't then that person can have me arrested.  Freedom of speech/expression is certainly dead in Thailand.

The Stxpid part of this is ,if a government official or higher up gets caught in an illegal activity and the media reports this or even suggest that he is under investment the reporter  can be sued here in LOS for printing the truth because it would embarrass the perpetrator of the illegal act.

So a Farang in her own country presses the like button and then comes on holiday and gets arrested under CCA. That will do wonders for tourism if they try that on and they will as we know.

Same risk as you smoked a joint before boarding a plane at Schiphol ; and got an urine test just after landing at Swampy!

Big brother is approaching a totalatarian police state it seems.  Its like either you want order or chaos in the eyes of simple minded leaders.

 Well if this is order- then sadly chaos seems a better choice.

And it is not just "likes" but who your friends are and who you associate with. Make sure that cutie you met in a bar does not have a uncle who is a red shirt leader.

Execute a hundred villagers a day until the "likes" stop.

Or land with an E-cigarette and vials of juice and be considered a Felon.  :saai:
