Media Activists Express Concern Over New Thai Cyber Law

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Thai police will be able to seize computers from homes and businesses under a new cyber-crime law that came into force Wednesday, which authorities say will help crack down on Internet pornography.

The Computer-related Crimes Act allows authorities to seize computers if they suspect they will be used illegally, but media rights activists say the law will allow the government to invade people's privacy.
