Govt struggles with 'tech-savvy' protestersYoung anti-government protesters at Kasetsart intersection throw up the three-finger salute on Monday. They also raised concern about possible confrontations between anti-government protesters and pro-monarchy groups who are coming out to counter their demands for reform of the monarchy. On the contrary, unconstructive use of it could also become a double-edged sword and lead to unrest, Mr Suriyasai said. Mr Suriyasai said a weakness in these digital platforms is that they become a weapon rather than serving as a forum for discussion. As a result, pressure will shift back onto the protesters instead, Mr Suriyasai said, adding that conflict may also arise among protesters as their patience is wearing thin as the conflict drags on.
