The Thai government has recently launched a major crackdown on online illegal activities. The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DE) disclosed significant achievements on January 21: In the three months from October last year to early January this year, a total of 220,486 various illegal social media, web pages, and URLs were blocked, of which 183,977 were related to online gambling websites, accounting for more than eighty percent. This operation is a core part of the government's "Quick Win" initiative, aimed at cutting off criminal networks by blocking illegal channels, thus protecting public safety and social order.

Action Results: Gambling Websites as the Core Target, Multiple Violations Cleaned Simultaneously
The blocking operation covered various online illegal scenarios, with online gambling being the primary target:
Core results: 183,977 online gambling websites were blocked, accounting for 83.4% of all illegal URLs, an unprecedented effort;
Simultaneous cleaning of other violations: including 14,618 e-cigarette websites, 10,139 alcohol advertisements, 2,943 cannabis sales, 2,040 pornographic transactions, 1,990 weapon transactions, and other violations such as scams and false information totaling 4,779;
Action goal: Deputy spokesperson Erin Panrueit clearly stated that by comprehensively blocking illegal online channels, the initiative aims to curb the derivation of related crimes from the source, maintaining order in both cyberspace and real society.
Technical Support: WebD Platform + AI Empowerment Doubles Enforcement Efficiency
The efficient crackdown in Thailand could not have been achieved without the support of self-developed technological tools and intelligent methods:
Core platform support: Relying on the self-developed "WebD" platform, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technologies, achieving full digitalization of the process;
Seamless process integration: Quickly completing the search for illegal websites, evidence collection, automatic generation of court applications, and then issuing blocking orders to Internet Service Providers (ISP), all in a paperless operation;
Continuous monitoring of effectiveness: Equipped with the "URLs Checker" system, tracking the blocking effects in real time, preventing the resurgence of illegal websites, forming a "strike-monitoring" closed loop.
Public Warning: Stay Away from Illegal Online Resources, Build a Safe Defense Line
While showcasing enforcement results, the government also issued a clear warning to the public:
Risk warning: Calls for the public to remain vigilant during daily internet use, consciously stay away from unauthorized or illegal online resources, avoid falling into traps such as gambling and scams, and protect personal and family property safety;
Long-term significance: Erin emphasizes that technology empowerment makes law enforcement more precise and efficient, not only eliminating a large number of online legal risks but also creating a safer online environment for the public;
Continuous efforts: As part of the "Quick Win" initiative, the government will continue to maintain a high-pressure stance, routinely combating various types of online illegal and criminal activities.
