Cyber War in Thailand’s

Cyber War in Thailand’s

We know social media is a continuous tool to battle opponents in the political war that is currently going on in Thailand. The people’s democratic reform committee has been using this social media a lot. This helps them to inform, to invite, and to connect with supporters and the public people. They are very active in posting information, news and updates. They do this via facebook and twitter.

More than 27040 people talking about the PRDC’s facebook page. But the govt. imposed an emergency decree covering the capital and its outskirts for 60 days. The govt also set up the centre for maintaining peace and order to oversee the state of emergency.

There are more than these two organizations are using social media as the prime communication tool to send messages and keep supporters updated. So we now see there is a type of cyber war. Thailand now has over 22 million people on the net and most of them check social media. Protesters have their own media channels to instantly relay messages. Not only they provide real information but they also make some propaganda. Thus, there is a huge risk of all of us being misinformed.

Moreover, IT people, scientists, and engineers have also been using social media to invite other IT experts, scientists and engineers to get together. So it’s a muddled situation on social media in Thailand.
