Cyber-Crime LawWhy? Reason 1 (Spreading False Information)
• “We need to prevent any ill-willed people or bad mood people from spreading false information, groundless information that could tend to mislead the public and affect national security or our society. We need to control this,” Press and Quick Reaction Unit spokesman Ek Tha said.
• “For instance, there was a mobile phone message saying that there was a violent clash near the Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge between supporters of the [Cambodian People’s Party] and the [Sam Rainsy Party] yesterday evening, but it was totally false,” the deputy prime minister was quoted as saying.
“[P]eople use modern technology to spread false information, so we need a law to regulate them.”
