The five-year-strategy is aimed at setting up a clear system and mechanics to promote and protect youths in regard to using online media safely and constructively, assistant government spokesman Colonel Athisit Chainuwat said.

The five strands of the strategy are: to develop efficient mechanics, or a network, including the establishment of a subcommittee; to enforce laws related to the protection and compensation of youths and controlling inappropriate and harmful online content; to create a body of knowledge to raise awareness in using online media; to enhance youths’ potential and support individuals and organisations to get to know the media better; and to raise public awareness and promote safe and constructive media production.
