BANGKOK: -- The National Council for Peace and Order chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha pleads with members of the public to help in getting rid of what he called “garbage” in the social media sows the seed of hatred in this country.
In his weekly “Returning Happiness to the People” TV address, he described the “garbage” in the social media as hate speeches and false information in Facebook and other social media which were shared quickly by readers without a second thought whether they are true or not or accurate or not.
These false information or hate speeches are dangerous to the youths and have always the cause of conflicts in the Thai society, he noted and pleaded with the readers not to quickly share such “garbage” to their friends or others without first checking or double-checking their accuracy.
The army chief said that if such a situation is allowed to go on without public cooperation, the problem will become uncontrollable “then the country will suffer heavy damages, security will be neutralized and tourism will be affected.”
“I know that youths today love to play all the Apps. But I am not familiar with that and I feel very uncomfortable after having read them,” said General Prayuth.
