In October 2018 , a 10-member group called Rap Against Dictatorship ( RAD ) released a song and music video entitled " Prathet Ku Me " ( " My Country ’s Got ... " ) . A member identifying themselves as Hockhacker explained the song 's message , " As artists , we want to reflect the truth of the society we are living in under dictatorship . " The song was received well , garnering 47 million views on YouTube ( with a like/dislike ratio of 1M : 33,000 ) before being taken down . The government attempted to ban the song claiming content relating to the Thammasat University massacre violated the nation 's Computer Crime Act , threatening to prosecute those who would share or republish the song or video . Blockchain technology was utilized by fans to prevent the government from accessing or deleting the video entirely , and it continued to be shared . A few days later , various police and government officials and spokespeople walked back previous statements and some showed support for expressing a variety of viewpoints
