Best to avoid FB's Onavo Protect VPN
Life, James Hein, Published on 28/02/2018
» If you use Facebook, you may have seen an option in the Settings menu under Protect to download the Onavo Protect app for Android and the iPhone. Don't. It is basically an app that allows Facebook to spy on you, even more than it already does. The app is a Virtual Private Network or VPN. In simplest terms this will encrypt and route all your network traffic through a server in addition to the one your ISP provides. This allows you to appear to be somewhere else, so you can watch, say, local content there for free and it will stop most agencies from spying on what you might be doing.

Oped, Editorial, Published on 20/02/2018
» It now seems clear that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha has abandoned his promise to reform the Royal Thai Police (RTP). Straightening out the police was just part of the overall National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) reform plans after the May 22, 2014, coup. But this was arguably the most important and definitely the most popular. For years, it seemed the RTP was like the weather; everyone complained, but no one was able to do anything about it.
The new face of gender equality
Oped, Vitit Muntarbhorn, Published on 09/02/2018
» Welcome to some innovative and refreshing action in favour of gender equality recently! A few days ago, Malaysia’s highest court, the Federal Court, passed a judgement in favour of a Hindu woman whose husband had changed his religion to Islam, without her knowledge, and whose husband then changed the religion of the children to Islam, without the mother’s consent. The court underlined that consent on the part of both parents was needed to change the religion of the children.

» Those investigating a sex scandal involving a school director and a 14-year-old student in Nakhon Ratchasima deserve praise for wrapping up the case in such a short period of time. The initial probe was obviously forced by the huge public attention concerning the case of Nathaphob Thongboontho, director of Ban Patong Tha Neon Samakkhee School in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Bua Yai district, and the girl, who is an 8th-grade student (Mathayom 2).
