patiwat writes "Thailand has warned Facebook users that they could face 3 to 15 years in jail for if they press ''share'' or ''like'' on images or articles considered unflattering to the Thai monarchy. And it doesn't just apply to Thai subjects: a US citizen was arrested and convicted while visiting Thailand for posting a link to an unauthorized biography of King Bhumibol on his blog. Convictions for virtual lese majeste have sky-rocketed in recent years as efforts to defend the widely revered royal family from criticism have ramped up."

  • ... a royalty which fears free speech so much that it wants to stamp it out. Starting with this very article. This is what people should do, link, like and share so much that the police would have to arrest the entire country. What a glorious way to get the Streisand effect underway. :)
