BANGKOK - Thailand is proposing that tech companies set up centres in each of the 10 South-east Asian countries to curb the flow of"fake news" and fake accounts, the country's telecommunications regulator said on Monday .
"We asked if it was possible that the companies authorise each country to oversee such centres and in so doing co-operate directly with them," Mr Takorn said after a meeting with tech companies earlier on Monday, adding that the companies would have to finance such operations. The proposal would be discussed further during the Asean Telecommunications Regulators' Council this week, he added.
In another Facebook post, Mr Puttipong said he"volunteered to purge content hurtful to Thais. Digital media should be clean".
