The LINE Corporation said that the Thai police had not contacted them to seek information about some users the Thai government believes may be, “suspicious.”
Line’s repsonse comes just hours after Thailand’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) said it put in a request to the ultra-popular chat network to investigate if conversations on its service, “violate the law or threaten national security.”
“Since LINE Corporation has not received any official request from the Thai police, we cannot provide any answers to the questions on this issue at this point,” read the official statement from LINE Corporation in answering a query from the Nation.
Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD)’s commander Pol Maj Ge Pisit Paoin earlier said the agency had asked Line Corporation in Japan to cooperate and TCSD officials will be sent to Japan to seek information about suspicious Line users in Thailand.
