Thailand: Women warned against 'underboob selfies'

Thailand's military government warned women on Monday (16 March) against publishing pictures showing the lower half of their breasts as their actions could violate the county's computer crime laws.

Under Thailand's Computer Crimes Act 2007, any online material that can cause "damage to the country's security or causes public panic [or] any obscene computer data which is accessible to the public," is strictly banned.

"When people take these 'underboob selfies' no one can see their faces," said ministry spokesman Anandha Chouchoti.

"So it's like, we don't know who these belong to, and it encourages others to do the same. We can only warn people to not take it up. They are inappropriate actions."

Selfies with women revealing the lower half of their breasts is a current social media trend gone viral in Thailand. Full story...
