Thailand Cyber Law

Thailand warned users of Clubhouse not to break the law after the audio social media app emerged almost overnight as a platform for discussion of the monarchy, the latest example of the fast-growing app drawing the ire of governments in Asia.

Thailand is also planning a cyber law that will expand powers to pry into private communications.

Thailand's junta chief Tuesday defended proposals for a cyber law that critics say will grant the government unprecedented surveillance powers with little judicial oversight.
