Crackdown on obscene content for mobiles
BANGKOK: The Culture Ministry will ask police to arrest download operators providing what it regards as obscene or sexually explicit graphics for mobile phones.
The ministry agreed to spearhead the action following a joint meeting of concerned agencies organised by the House committee on youths, women and the elderly, said Lalita Rerksamran, chairwoman of the House panel.
Attending the meeting were representatives from the Culture Ministry, Royal Thai Police, CAT Telecom and TOT Corp.
Several operators provide services for mobilephone users to load the offending graphics for use as screensavers, sending picture messages or as a logo replacement.
Some graphics are of animated sex.
Operators are known to hand out leaflets to teens at department stores, providing them with codes to download graphics onto their handsets.
Lalita said some new mobilephone models used a fast multimedia network to download fulllength Xrated movies.
Vice Culture Minister Veerasak Kowsurat said the ministry would invoke Article 287 of the Criminal Code to file complaints with police against operators who provided obscene graphics for downloading.
€œThe operators may think that providing drawings €“ not real photos of sex in action €“ will not violate the Criminal Code. But they are wrong, as the article prohibits distribution of pornographic material in any form,€ Veerasak said.
He said the ministry would also take action against operators who published and distributed leaflets as manuals for downloading obscene pictures and graphics.
The ministry had also assigned CAT and TOT to inform mobilephone operators to cancel contracts with ringtone and graphicdownload operators who provided pornographic pictures for downloading.
Lalita said police had also proposed that users of prepaid mobilephone services be registered so that authorities could check the phone records of criminals.
The House panel would ask the Interior Ministry to issue a new directive requiring the use of an identification card when buying prepaid phone services.
In another development, Veerasak said Deputy Prime Minister Vishanu Kruangam called a meeting of relevant government agencies which decided that the Culture Ministry would take action against anyone caught advertising illegal services and amulets.
