+> “If an intelligence law is not well-conceived and rational, it could easily become a formidable weapon of repression. An intelligence law should not only protect citizens against terrorism, but also against the State. We in France are doing neither. There is a total absence of control in this law.” -- Marc Trévidic, former chief terrorism investigator for the French judicial system
+> 
+> In recent months, and in the wake of a series of terrorist attacks across Europe, Germany, France and the United Kingdom — Europe’s biggest superpowers — have passed laws granting their surveillance agencies virtually unfettered power to conduct bulk interception of communications across Europe and beyond, with limited to no effective oversight or procedural safeguards from abuse.

+> Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is driven by [a vision of “connecting the world”](https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10100933624710391) and, though [he has said a compromise is necessary](https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/22/chinabook/) in the case of countries like China where free speech is restricted, it is hard to see how that vision fits with kowtowing to a law that has gotten [Thai people jailed for Facebook comments](https://news.vice.com/article/young-people-in-thailand-are-going-to-jail-for-facebook-comments), or [even merely receiving a message](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/thailand-woman-prison-two-word-facebook-message-reply-a7022116.html) on the social network.
+> 
+> Facebook is blocking content from a number of users following an apparent request from the government. Thailand’s lèse-majesté law prevents criticism of the country’s royal family, and it looks like it is being used to suppress postings from a number of high-profile users who are writing about the transition to a new king, including journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall. His 2014 [book on the Thai royal family](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/asia/thailand/articles/Thailand-bans-Britons-book-that-defames-monarchy/) was banned and branded a “danger to national security and peaceful and orderly society.”
+>
+> This isn’t the first instance of the social network upholding local law in Thailand. “Internet freedom declined in 2016 as the military leadership continued its efforts to codify censorship and surveillance powers through legislation,” Freedom House wrote.
