BANGKOK (AP) — Media reports in Thailand say authorities have declared it illegal to exchange information on the internet with three prominent government critics who often write about the country's monarchy.
A letter from the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society reported online Wednesday by the newspaper Thai Rath and other media advised all citizens not to follow, contact, share or engage in any other activity that would result in sharing information from historian Somsak Jeamteerasakul, academic Pavin Chachavalpongpun and online journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall. All three live outside Thailand.
The letter says people who spread such information, directly or indirectly, could be violating the country's Computer Crime Act, even unintentionally.
Somsak has written extensively and in great detail about the Thai monarchy, and his detailed Facebook postings are often consulted even by royalists who disagree with his views. Pavin is an outspoken former Thai diplomat, and Marshall is the author of "A Kingdom in Crisis," a 2014 book.
Thailand enforces a law that punishes with three to 15 years imprisonment the dissemination of information considered insulting to the monarchy. Prosecutions have surged in the past decade as political turmoil coincided with the decline in health of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died last October.
In February, a student pro-democracy activist who shared a story about Thailand's new king that had been posted online by the Thai-language service of the BBC was indicted on a lese majeste charge. Jatupat "Pai" Boonpattararaksa pleaded innocent.

in a normal time this demented fuckface would have long since been locked up in a padded cell, or would be wandering around Times Square toting a bottle of Four Roses, accosting tourists with his wild ravings about what he'd do once he became POTUS

That is interesting, but it would be more interesting if you told us what she said in response.
"I'm not the darkness... It's like I tell small children. Just because someone says something doesn't make it true."

FWIW apparently there was a FISA warrant to keep an eye on Carter Page, the same Cater Page that Trump cannot figure out who he is.
pretty sure in the fine print of the Page news was a mention that he 'knowingly' acted in cahoots with the Russkies being surveilled. He's a greaseweasel and a really poor liar; should be quite a spectacle watching/hearing him testify
