In my opinion, Thailand's media landscape is neutral, but it is also depends on the point of view of each person also. Some might think that it is too strict, some might not. But from my point of view I think Thailand's media landscape isn't too strict and isn't too freedom as well. As you know, Thailand nowadays is ruled by the military, or you might called them "National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO)". So if you post something that related to them in the negative way I think it might not be good, the worst situation is they might catch you and put you in the jail.
For the importance of the media, I think without medias, the world would be a lot larger and very hard to access or communicate to your friends, your parents, your customers, your clients, etc. Media such as Facebook is very important because you can communicate with your friends, you can post your photos or your videos to share your moment with other people. Any other social media apps as well. They all do a lot of profit to the owner and the other companies as well. They put their advertisement in the media to spread the information of their companies.
For the Computer Crime Act, I don't know much about the laws and the rules about the computer crime, but as I just said earlier that if you post something on social media that related in negative way to the government, you can be caught by the government. So, you have to be very careful about what you are going to write and what you are going to post. It's really important.
Nowaday, I think media is very useful. The media now has more than 7 types. It make you can find news, downloading some new song easily. but now, media is the reason that make "Social ignore" because we almost have smartphones and tablets at least one. It'll make you ignore everyone that surrounding you. So,we need to use it in the right way.
1.What do you think about Thailand’s media landscape, the importance of media and the dangers of such laws as Thailand’s Computer Crime Act.
Ans. I think Thailand’s media is influence to everyone too much. Even though sometimes we use it for benefit but we use it too much so it makes many problem and we don’t have discipline. In other developed country than Thailand can handle with the upcoming problem so that it makes those country develop efficiently and don’t effect to the society. But Thailand couldn’t manage the problem efficiently so it cause us not to develop it well. For example, in the consequence of social media violating the personal right to the stranger who we haven’t known before. If we have a respect to each other and we will have a good management, the problem won’t happen. It happens to have laws Thailand’s Computer Crime Act in order to solve this problem, in that social media have various danger. For example, when you apply for a job, the company doesn’t entrust your personal information. The company may bring your personal information to use in the wrong way that insecure and cause the problem for you.
