Activists have voiced concerns about the draft revision to the Computer Crime Act, saying it could lead to government intrusion of internet users' private, encrypted data. The bill, which passed its first hearing at the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) and is currently being considered by a special committee ahead of the two remaining readings, could permit the Information and Communications Technology Ministry (ICT) to gain access to encrypted information online, said Arthit Suriyawongkul, coordinator of the Thai Netizen Network, an internet freedom advocacy group. The network recently uncovered a series of proposals the ICT presented to the NLA's special committee, asking for additional amendments to be made to the draft. The leaked document from the ministry states: "To stop dissemination of, or to block computer data.The ICT minister may set criteria, periods and guidelines to do so in line with changing technology."
