In the a number of countries, courts can prohibit the media displaying evidence of crime that may be considered be prejudicial to a Person having a fair trial or someone being tried in the public domain before they get to trial.
In many other countries it maybe a He or a She or even a Service Providers, who makes the rules, in which case it is He or a She or even a Service Provider that will decide what we get to see and what we don't get to see on social media. One thing for certain, it is not a level playing field from one country to the next.
Thailand has some unique laws, including one related to deformation. Just try posting something unpleasant (even if truthful) about the hospitality industry or one of its venues or even certain individual and see where ones ends up. Often the law is open to a somewhat broad interpretation, by ......... and so not necessarily the same one that may be held by the Courts.
I suspect disclosing most events on social media is acceptable in Thailand, but that this too may have limits. I might be wrong.
Then in Th...there is the Computer Crimes Act, (which I admit I have not read in full) and this Act may have some bearing on a person ability to disclose this issue on social media, to the full extent, if it just happened to show something that it should not, by either Persons. A person if he had a video or even a Service Provide may be somewhat cautious in this instance, if they have further video evidence and hence prefer to stay out of it and or hand it over through "proper" channels.
In this day and age, everything is traceable and many people tend to stay out of other people's troubles. That just the way it is.
Ask yourself, as Expats living in another country, if you were the person who had videoed the event from start to finish, or you were given the video by others, would any of you post it on WhatsApp or ..........under your name?
