Thai Authorities Arrest Admin of 'Godd Dam' Page Over Alleged Fake News
Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed the arrest of the administrator behind the 'Godd Dam' Facebook page following allegations of spreading misinformation regarding the Prime Minister.
Thai authorities have apprehended the administrator of the 'Godd Dam' Facebook page, according to reports from Thai Post on October 28, 2026. Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul stated that the arrest was swift due to clear evidence of wrongdoing. The page is accused of posting a fabricated bank slip alleging that the Prime Minister accepted a 7 million baht bribe.
Minister Anutin emphasized that the legal process is being followed, noting that the page’s actions—which included threatening posts—constituted a clear violation of the law. He also addressed criticism from politician Rukchanok Srinork, suggesting that official inquiries regarding the matter should be directed through parliamentary channels rather than social media, which he argued leads to public misunderstanding.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the strict enforcement of Thai laws regarding online content, particularly concerning defamation and the dissemination of false information involving high-ranking officials. While the arrest has been confirmed by the Interior Minister, details regarding the specific charges filed against the administrator and the status of the investigation remain subject to further updates from the Royal Thai Police. Observers should be aware that sharing unverified or inflammatory content online can carry significant legal risks in Thailand.
