People still free to ‘like’ on social media with discretion, ministry clarifies
He clarified that the public could still express opinions via online channels, provided their comments do not infringe on other peoples’ rights or break any laws. That leaves things a bit open for clarification when it comes to laws and peoples rights!

“The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society has clarified that social media users were still free to ‘like’ or share posts as long as they respected other people’s rights.”
What rights? The right to not be offended? My god, you’ll have
a society of children who are
terrified to say anything.
Seems to me that if you wanna go down this road, you’ll have to support the poor with legal aid. This way, everyone who has their feelings hurt, can take the other person to court. We wouldn’t just want the rich people suing.
I hope this is a sign of backtracking.

When I click the “like” button, maybe I mean I like how the journalist wrote the article.
Nothing evil about it.

Unfortunately “likes” don’t carry time-codes so is it possible to “like” something that is legal one day and if that topic becomes illegal suddenly (happens a lot in Thailand) does that mean you could be charged with violating the Computer/Thought Crimes Act? Huh? Safer not clicking on anything it seems.

Their gracious and generous decision to allow us rights violators to continue clicking Like despite our rights abuse records on Facebook et al is truly wonderful and I say ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, most forgiving and honourable sirs for giving us a second chance. I apologise if, in fact, I too have violated people’s rights which I know you will without fail fight everyday and work so hard to uphold for the nation.
Now I feel so ashamed because I may have clicked on something that violated someone’s rights. Please forgive me. I didn’t know until now. Now that I know what is right and wrong I shall, like you, stay on the straight and narrow never to click on something
inappropriate, which, of course, is crystal clear now thanks to your recent in-depth public statement. Where would we be without the beacon of integrity and morality that is the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society guiding our nation through this stormy and treacherous time?

Liking or not - sounds like a moving target to me.
