Authorities have expanded enforcement beyond gambling sites to wider scam networks.
Thailand.- Thai authorities have announced closer cooperation with Meta to strengthen enforcement across digital platforms. The initiative follows a meeting between the Royal Thai Police’s High-Tech Crime Division and representatives from the owner of Facebook and Instagram.
