Students in Chonburi Report Cyberbullying via Anonymous Chat Groups
Students in Si Racha have filed police reports after their personal photos and information were used in anonymous online groups to harass and defame them.
On November 9, 2026, a group of students from a prominent school in Si Racha, Chonburi, filed formal complaints with local police regarding a surge in cyberbullying. According to Khaosod Online, unidentified individuals have been using a new messaging application popular among teenagers to create anonymous 'expose' groups. These platforms are being used to circulate personal photos, names, and private information, accompanied by abusive language and inflammatory content designed to incite conflict among students in the area.
The victims reported that these actions have caused significant distress, public humiliation, and damage to their reputations. Furthermore, there are growing concerns that this digital harassment could escalate into physical violence or systemic bullying within educational institutions. Police have begun collecting evidence, including screenshots of the chat groups, and are coordinating with investigative units to identify the creators and contributors of these posts. Authorities intend to pursue legal action under the Computer Crime Act and defamation laws.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the risks associated with emerging social media trends and the potential for digital platforms to be misused for harassment. While the investigation is ongoing, it remains to be confirmed how widespread these specific 'expose' groups are across other regions and what specific measures schools will implement to protect student privacy and safety.
