Submission + - 15 years in jail for clicking "Like" (smh.com.au) 2

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."

Comment water vs internet (Score 1) 499

you cant compare the right for internet and the right for water. water is in no way a right that you would need somewhat philosophically or spiritually or such. you will die without water, but you will die *happy*. on the other hand, internet is really quite important, concidering the free speech and stuff like that. you will not die without internet, but the denial to access the net would captivate your chances to express your free speech. i remind you, there is a good chance of getting your ass kicked should you just wander to the streets and start yelling stuff.
