Women in Thailand could face up to 5 years in jail for taking 'underboob selfies' if caught and arrested.
According to Reuters,
Thailand's military government warned women against posting 'selfie'
photos of the lower half of their breasts - a social media trend that
has gone viral - saying their actions could violate the country's
computer crime laws.
The country's 2007 Computer Crimes Act bans
any material that causes "damage to the country's security or causes
public panic" or "any obscene computer data which is accessible to the
public".
The culture ministry who didn't say how they would identify culprits said:
"When
people take these 'underboob selfies' no one can see their faces, so
it's like, we don't know who these belong to, and it encourages others
to do the same. We can only warn people to not take it up. They are
inappropriate actions."
