BANGKOK -- Thailand's unelected parliament is rushing through a cybersecurity bill that would give the military regime sweeping powers to monitor political traffic online.
Digital media analysts say the new legislation contains vague language that would empower a soon-to-be-created National Cybersecurity Committee to target the computers and servers of political opponents under the guise of "an emergency" or as a "preventive measure." Business groups, meanwhile, fear corporate data could be compromised.
