โซล่าเซลล์ Broadcasting Services of Thailand, the state-run TV and radio station, had a little bit of a cock-up at present on their social media. Though it’s unclear exactly the means it occurred, earlier right now the official Twitter account of the NBT, which acts as the media arm of the Government Public Relations Department, retweeted a pornographic image of a man sitting with a big, erect penis.
The post on Twitter was not their very own original submit, however quite they were sharing – or “retweeting” – a publish from another person’s account, on this case one that posts hardcore images. The picture itself appears to be doctored, with someone’s face photoshopped onto the unique, although the identity of both man within the authentic or the doctored photo is unknown.
It was unclear if the retweet was the outcomes of an embarrassing cock-up, or a ballsy move from a disgruntled worker.
The retweet was posted within the afternoon, and rapidly deleted earlier than 5 pm, presumably when someone notice the error. Perhaps it was a social media supervisor, or perhaps – if they’re unfortunate – someone larger up in the organisation. Before it was deleted at least one person replied with a snarky comment about how somebody might be shedding their job over this.
Coconuts seen that their Twitter account had been adopted by the NBT not long before this awkward publish, which they advised might have been an advance hint of planned social media sabotage.
Further details aren’t out there, and as of now, the NBT has not commented on the tweet or its removing. The tweet itself might be a prosecutable offence, as pornography is illegal in Thailand and posting porn on Twitter or other locations on-line falls beneath the Computer Crime Act.
The flub is reminiscing of an identical political embarrassment in US politics in 2017, when fairly disliked US Senator Ted Cruz was captured giving a “like” to a pornographic picture on a Twitter profile that exclusively shared porn.
