Such centres would also work as a shortcut for governments to flag misinformation more easily to providers of over-the-top service – any digital service done through the internet, including social media – so that they could comply by taking it down faster, said the Thai regulator. The proposal came as telecoms regulators from the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations were meeting this week in Bangkok with an aim to come up with regional guidelines to regulate OTT platforms, including taxation policies.

Takorn said the “coordination and verification centres” would also support a plan by Thailand’s new digital minister to prioritize anti-fake news efforts and regulate various kinds of content on websites and social media.
