I somehow feel this is good for any of those countries in between the western capital based democracies and the extreme of North Korea: it will backfire sooner or later, but without any of this silly measures trigging public awareness, people would keep believing in their leaders and brainwashed culture.

Maybe it is what it takes to move forward from a dictatorship to a (fake) democracy these days.

Are you aware of the last 15-ish years of democracy in Thailand.

Thailand had a coup two years ago and has been living under military dictatorship ever since.

The 2014 coup was just the latest in a series of anti-Shinawat actions (including the 2006 coup and the events of 2010).
