Ex-politician to sue Thai army


A former politician whose party was the apparent target of a disguised online propaganda campaign by the Thai army earlier this year said she and her colleagues plan legal action in response.

Pannika Wanich, former spokesperson for the now-dissolved Future Forward Party, on Friday said they had already been gathering information about the army’s information operations – or “IO” – when Twitter announced on Thursday that it had identified and removed 926 accounts that had unacknowledged or concealed links to the Thai military.
