Map from the Freedom House report shows the regional situation of internet freedom. Thailand has been branded "not free" for internet freedom for the fourth consecutive year in the latest Freedom on the Net report. According to Freedom House, statistics have shown that the severity of freedom on the internet in Thailand has been on a steady decline only since the military took power in 2014. The Freedom House report pointed out that several key events has resulted in this decline, most notably from the new adjustments to the Computer Crime Act (CCA). For instance, new amendments undermined internet freedom which gave way to increased surveillance with murky jurisdictions, while increasing the level of censorship on all types of media.
