Be realistic.

Though it's theoretically possible for her to start a lobbying campaign and push for the amendments but in practice it won't happen. That's democracy for you - MPs don't care what she thinks, she is not paying their salaries, and they don't care about Computer law either.

You can't even have a meaningful referendum on it - vast majority of Thais do not have computers, and vast majority of those who do don't have problems with the right to spread false information or offend the monarchy.

The laws are not written by university professors, and when activists like Sawatree are invited to participate they are faced with the juggling act of trying to satisfy all stakeholders. They aren't that many vested interests in the computer field yet, but imagine what Supinya must be going through with all the money involved in broadcasting.

In fact the best chance of improving this law lies with Democrat administration, like them or not.
