According to an opinion poll conducted by Super Poll, a study company, the Internal Security Operations Command ( Isoc) should not only remain in place but also broaden its responsibility to oversee computer security.
1,210 people between the ages of 18 and working in different professions across the nation participated in a poll on November 1 – 4 to gather their thoughts on the function of Isoc.
Here is a synopsis of the survey’s findings:
• 62.9 % of respondents believed that the agency may broaden its responsibilities to include monitoring social media threats to national security and computer security.
Isoc may still occur, according to 51.5 % of respondents. However, its administration needs to be enhanced in order to better address the needs of the populace in various locations.
Isoc has been crucial in dealing with natural disasters like fires, flooding, and people, according to 51.4 % of respondents.
Isoc is where government from various government agencies have collaborated for the nation’s surveillance and solidary without section, according to 45.7 %.
Isoc has upheld national security in a number of areas, including violence, drugs, and independence, as well as defending national interests, according to 42.9 %.
According to Super Poll’s leader, Assistant Professor Noppadol Kannika, the majority of respondents also want Isoc to grow and fulfill the needs of various communities, especially in order to combat computer threats.
This opinion survey was carried out in response to inquiries about whether the state should break Isoc. Isoc’s detractors, especially the Move Forward Party, claimed that the organization has duties akin to those of the war.
Thai Enquirer, an English-language news site, published a commentary in which it expressed sorrow that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin seemed afraid to reform or grip in Isoc, claiming that the army-affiliated body has assumed political responsibility that extends beyond its initial purview. Because Mr. Sreetha opposes the dissolution of Isoc, the commentary’s author questioned whether he was” a stooge of the military.”
Mr. Srettha responded to the writer by posting on X( previously Twitter ).
He wrote,” Dissolving Isoc was never a part of the Pheu Thai Party’s( PTP ) policy, neither before, during, nor after the election.”
