People who press "share" or "like" buttons on Facebook in response to lese majeste-related content can violate the Computer Crime Act, Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudith Nakornthap has warned.
Although the clicks were only aimed at showing support for people who posted messages or to oppose the ill-intentioned messages, they could be considered an infraction of the law, the minister said.
The information and photos of on-line participants in such topics can be exploited by web operators who can reuse them in making "fake Facebook" pages, said Capt Anudith.
