Ceasefire, but not online

July 29, 2025

It is welcome news that peace negotiations in Kuala Lumpur yesterday resulted in an agreement between Thailand and Cambodia for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

Despite such progress, the fight in cyberspace continues with “keyboard warriors” from both sides continuing to use fervent nationalistic rhetoric, propaganda and fake news to shape public sentiment. Examples are abundant from both sides.

Needless to say, social media content from Cambodian netizens portrays Thailand as the villain that initiated the attack, and Cambodia as the victim. It is also no surprise that there is a lot of fake news.

And even if the fighting ends, it is hoped that the Royal Thai Army (RTA) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will collect granular details and satellite records to convince the world that Thailand and its army are defending the country.
