Thaimaan fb'tä saattaa uhata sulkeminen, jos yhteisö ei taivu juntan tahtoon.
| Lainaus: | Facebook faces immediate shutdown threat
The Thai Internet Service Provider Association (Tispa) says it is under government pressure to immediately shut down the all access to Facebook as early as Tuesday morning, over the social medium's refusal to take down every post dictated.
Tispa said it could disconnect the content delivery network (CDN) originating Facebook's server if the social media giant fails to meet Tuesday's 10am deadline set by the government to remove illicit URLs or posts from its site.
Editorial: Junta action backfires
The CDN is a system of distributed servers that deliver web content to a user based on the user's geographical location and the origin of the webpage.
Tispa and internet gateway providers (IIG), sent an email to the managing director of Facebook Thailand on Friday with the request.
"If the relevant Thai authorities find any illegal content from www.facebook.com in our system - particularly the 131 URLs which have not yet been removed - concerned authorities will request that we shut down the CDN of www.facebook.com and other parts of the network to block such illegal content.
"This action may affect the entire delivery services of www.facebook.com to customers in Thailand," Tispa said in the email.
According to Tispa, Thai authorities have demanded Facebook remove 131 separate Facebook posts which they deemed illegal. The Criminal Court has signed orders to take down the posts, otherwise the Thai unit of the US social media giant will face legal action.
The regime cut access to Facebook shortly after the May 22, 2014, although it denied the action. The brief Facebook outage was deemed at the time to be a test.
Then on May 6, a still-mysterious service outage cut millions of internet users off sections of the internet - especially Google, its Gmail service and the video site YouTube. Explanations provided by three internet companies of maintenance problems are almost universally disbelieved.
The government, including Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha personally, has called for a single internet gateway for the country in order to make monitoring easier.
On Monday, the junta-appointed National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) hrtcalled on Gen Prayut to use his Section 44 powers to immediately set up a cyber committee that would the military and others to access every cyber network and connected computer in the country, without court authorisation.
Monday's threat to shut down Facebook completely is a vivid contrast with September, 2015, when Facebook opened its Thai office. At that time, Facebook's vice-president for Asia-Pacific, Dan Neary, was ecstatic about the move into Thailand.
Thais are the most active social network users in Southeast Asia, he said. They spend an average of 2.35 hours per day on Facebook, 1.5 times higher than watching TV.
"In Thailand, the number of postings is three times higher than the average for the Facebook population globally," said Mr Neary.
That was then.
But now, according to the internet providers of Tispa, the government has no interest in taking legal action, and is prepared to shut down Facebook entirely.
This would be a massive escalation of the battle over what the government has declared illegal posts on the internet, especially web pages and social media posts deemed to have defamed the high institution.
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) last Thursday gave Facebook until 10am Tuesday to remove the remaining illegal posts on its site.
As of Friday, Facebook had removed 178 of 309 posts singled out by the regime and counter-signed by the Court. That leaves 131 Facebook posts still accessible in Thailand.
NBTC secretary-general Takorn Tantasith said that as of 4pm Monday, Facebook appeared to have blocked more posts, and the number of "illicit webpages" (the term used by the regime) was less than 100.
"Facebook has cooperated with Thai authorities and Tispa. However, we have learned that some issues have not been solved yet," said Mr Takorn.
Mr Takorn added that Facebook has been trying to keep up with blocking illicit posts upon court orders but there is still other content available that has been deemed illegal under the National Council for Peace and Order's (NCPO) orders which Facebook has been hesitant to remove.
Facebook's declared policy is to leave all disputed posts intact. But it blocks access to single posts to users in Thailand on a case by case basis if the posts are clearly illegal in Thai law, and ordered by the Criminal Court.
Facebook is the biggest social network in Thailand by far, with millions of users every day.
Mr Takorm will visit Tispa's office Tuesday to monitor the reaction from Tispa and Facebook after the deadline set by authorities for the removal of the remaining illicit URLs has passed. |

Ei sulkeudu. Tää on taas tätä hätäilyä kuten kaikessa muussakin.

Ainakin tiukempia kontrollointikeinoja on ehdotettu eli jos tämä toteutuu, valtaapitävien on helpompi seurata, mitä "alaiset" tekevät. Vastustus on kyllä suurta, saa nähdä, miten käy.
| Lainaus: | Experts baulk at plan for social media ‘watch centre’

MEDIA and legal experts have strongly opposed a proposed social media monitoring centre, which would require all users to register with their fingerprints and ID cards, saying it will lead to even more underground online content.
The response came after the National Reform Steering Assembly (NRSA) on Monday accepted a proposal requiring social media users to identify themselves and for the establishment of a “watch centre” to monitor netizens 24 hours a day.
The proposal included the establishment of a central social media watch centre, citing “inappropriate” use of social media. It also proposed that the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry, the Interior Ministry and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) work with social networking websites, notably Facebook, to identify users.
Paiboon Amonpinyokeat, a legal expert and founder at P&P Law Firm, said that the proposal affects people’s freedom of expression on social media, since it also seeks to require users to register with their fingerprints and ID card numbers.
He said additional measures are not necessary because the NBTC has already enforced regulations on ownership of both monthly and prepaid SIM cards.
If the proposal is adopted, it will also hurt the country’s policy to promote the digital economy and Internet-related businesses, since more people will turn to apps that provide anonymity or use social media platforms hosted in foreign countries.
Any online content regulations should be enforced only on critical national security areas such as unrest in the country’s southernmost provinces, he said.
The government should consider giving incentives to Internet service providers for self-regulation, he said.
Prinya Hom-anek, the president and chief executive officer of ACIS Professional Center, is also against the proposal as he said it would encourage people to go underground or use avatars. The government should launch a public campaign for a higher level of digital literacy and encourage social sanctions against unethical social media users, he said.
The proposed monitoring centre will not work, he said, although he expressed support for the government to require Over the Top (OTT) broadcasters to register when providing their services in Thailand.
Mana Treelayapewat, dean at the School of Communication Arts, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, said there should be more public education campaigns on responsible social media use since content regulations are unlikely to be effective. In addition, he said the country’s image would be hurt if people’s freedom of expression is affected.
He said the proposal will also affect the “Thailand 4.0” modernisation policy as well as the path to promote a digital economy and society, noting that the proposal is probably aimed at politically sensitive content.
Meanwhile, the Thai Armed Forces have stepped up their preparedness for cyberwarfare amid growing global threats.
At a seminar yesterday on preparatory measures to cope with the rise of cyberwarfare, Maj-General Rit Indarawud, head of the Army’s cyberwarfare operations centre, said there are five levels of threats. The general said North Korea and Iran are among the most aggressive nations in terms of cyberwarfare. He said North Korea had previously used Thailand as a base to mount its attacks.

En oikein jaksa uskoa, että menisi ainakaan ihan noin vaan läpi nuo mitä puuhaillaan. Eikös tuon pysty nykyään kiertämäänkin kun kikkailee hommassa. Toisaalta se on silti niin, että kikkailu loppuu kylläkin jos jakaa sellaista tarinaa somessa mikä ei hallitusta miellytä. "Maan alla" pystyy toimimaan mielestäni ainakin. Kaikesta huolimatta ei ole hyväksi Thaimaan maineelle kansainvälisesti ajatellen ja voi vaan kysyä mihin tässä ollaan menossa ja pyrkimässä?
