BANGKOK: Thai authorities are targeting not only those who post or share material considered insulting to the monarchy, but even those who look at it, police said on May 22, in an escalation in how Thailand deals with critics of the royal family. 

Thailand has a technology crime suppression police division, which handles inappropriate content and computer crimes that are insulting to the monarchy.
