(B: A junior agent texted in.)
B: P’… are you free? I need to vent.
Ex: I’m not free.
.
B: P’! Agent P snatched my property and cheated me out of my commission!
Ex: Uh-huh… and? (I literally just said I’m not free…)
.
B: I’m gonna screenshot all the evidence and expose them in the condo group!
Ex: Hm?
.
B: I’m going to destroy them so they’ll have no place in society.
Ex: Uh… I get how you feel. But… what you’re about to do actually counts as “defamation through advertisement” under the Criminal Code, Section 328.
.
B: How is it defamation, P’!!! It’s all true. I have evidence. You can see the chat.
Ex: Calm down first, Anon. In defamation cases, it doesn’t matter if it’s #true or false. If you share someone else’s story with a third party and it damages their reputation, causes insults, or shames them — whether through text, photos, videos, or any public method — that’s defamation.
.
“Punishable by up to 2 years in prison, or a fine up to 200,000 baht.”
.
B: But I didn’t run ads to bash them. How is that advertising?
Ex: Just posting on Facebook is already considered “advertising.” Because you’re not the only one seeing it, right? (If you want to spend money running ads to bash them, that’s on you!)
.
B: Then what can I do? Can I pull your hair instead? I really need to vent.
Ex: Calm down. I’m not a bunny doll for you to vent on. Here’s what you can do…
.
B: What is it, P’?
Ex: You can post, but do it as a “warning” for others to be cautious when dealing with P. Don’t directly judge or say “they cheated, cheated, cheated…” Let readers use their own judgment.
.
B: Can I post their photo?
Ex: Nope!!! There’s also PDPA law now. Posting someone’s photo or info without consent — you’ll get into even bigger trouble than them.
.
B: What the heck!!!
Ex: Cheating is one thing… defamation is another… PDPA is yet another. Ok?
.
B: What if I tag them or post a photo with eyes blacked out?
Ex: Tagging is even worse. It specifically points out who you’re accusing. And if you barely black out the eyes with a thin noodle line or flimsy paper… it might tear easily, and people can still figure out who it is. You’re at risk (You can inbox it privately, but be careful that the person you send to doesn’t forward it.)
.
B: But I see people expose others publicly all the time. They never seem to get in trouble.
Ex: That’s because the accused didn’t pursue legal action. But if they do, the poster will be in big trouble. You only see the post — have you ever seen them getting countersued?
.
B: Argh!!! P’!!!! Then what CAN I do?
Ex: From now on… work professionally. Be thorough in your work. Protect the rights and interests of both the owner and yourself. Always keep evidence or written agreements. Stay in control every step of the way. Most importantly, communicate with the owner regularly. Let them know you’re actively working for them. Know who your client is and who your colleagues are.
.
(Sound of a gong… Moooonnnggggg!!!!)
B: Amen, P’.
.
P.S. I know it hurts. But while you’re hurting, keep your mind calm.
