I'm not a Thai lawyer, but it sounds like it's criminal there:
https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-defamation-sections-326-333/ https://library.siam-legal.com/thai-law/criminal-code-defama...
> If the offence of defamation be committed by means of publication of a document, drawing, painting, cinematography film, picture or letters made visible by any means, gramophone record or another recording instruments, recording picture or letters, or by broadcasting or spreading picture, or by propagation by any other means, the offender shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding two years and fined not exceeding two hundred thousand Baht.
As I understand, the US is relatively very permissive in regards to defamatory speech, and has a very high bar for punishing this type of speech compared to other places.

- kube-system 3y agoI understand the context of this thread, I'm suggesting I don't think US legal standards are too relevant in this case. In Thailand you can go to prison for insulting the monarchy.
- SllX 3y agoAh, yeah, they’re not really relevant here, not unless a hypothetical extradition were actually filed anyway but I was just answering OP.
