- Greetings and felicitations.
- This is Anonymous.
- Some thoughts on recent events in Thailand that we felt are worth sharing.
- Freedom of speech is under attack world wide, but some countries are feeling the effects much more
- than others.
- In Thailand it is illegal to criticize the government or military online. Prison sentences will
- result. Think about this.
- The military junta have promised elections in 2017, but who will be left able to offer a commentary
- on how Thailand can progress politically if anyone who speaks out against the way the military
- conducts themselves in government is threatened or arrested?
- How can the media provide the Thai people with an impartial view on politics in Thailand if they
- are afraid to express opinions unpopular with the junta?
- Physical protests and demonstrations are banned in Thailand, the internet (for better or worse) is
- the obvious outlet for networking dissent now, it must be defended.
- Make no mistake, these laws governing the internet have little to do with protecting Thailand
- from hackers, they are about protecting the government from having to listen to the voice of the
- people, they are about putting a stranglehold on dissent.
- If the Thai military had genuinely been concerned about protecting infrastructure from hackers
- they would hire computer security experts to secure their systems, not waste time drafting laws
- that victimize innocent citizens.
- Activists choosing to take actions that are considered to be illegal by the junta must analyze the
- risks they are taking and look to minimizing them at each stage. Are you using your personal email
- address to discuss illegal activities? Can your personal social media profiles be easily linked to
- discussing illegal actions in public forums? Are you using some method of hiding your connection
- details, whether proxies, VPNs or tor? Are you using a hacker nickname that can be linked to other
- accounts you have, whether YouTube or PSN?
- Think.
- The Thai government are not tech savvy, but they are motivated to show that they can arrest anyone
- who dares to embarrass them. Do not underestimate their desire to catch you. Do not make it easy
- for them.
- Thai ISPs will cooperate with the government to help track activists, without question. The Thai
- government can request that corporations like Facebook turn over user data if it is part of a
- criminal investigation.
- Considering every way that it is necessary to hide your true identity online can seem daunting at
- first, but given time and thought it simply becomes habit, though it may have at first have seemed
- a complicated contrivance.
- If you are not confident that you can remain hidden online when taking big risks we urge you to do
- more research into how to protect yourself before acting, we must all learn to crawl before we can
- learn to run.
- We read with sadness that 9 alleged hacktivists in Thailand have been arrested, we note with
- concern that 8 of them have yet to be turned over to civilian authorities by the military. They
- are being held at what Reuters describes as a "military black site". We consider the chances of
- fair trials for any of these alleged hackers to be minimal, with the chances of human rights
- violations high.
- There will be many battles, some won, some lost, in this war for your privacy, for the right to
- speak your mind without fear, already the Thai government has been forced to address concerns over
- this new cyber law. Activists have pushed this struggle for internet freedoms on to the front page
- of the Thai newspapers and into the media world wide.
- The world is watching.
- Sail safe please Thailand.
