Lese majeste warning for Facebook

Local Facebook users risk violating the computer law unknowingly by pressing the "like" or "share" button included with posted comment on anti-monarchy messages on the most popular social networking site, Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudith Nakornthap said on Thursday.

Facebook users should not press the ``like''  button or post comments on lese majeste-related content.
