Legal Measures for Controlling Commercial Telephone Use Infringing on Privacy

The phenomenon of çunsolicited phone callsé is regarded as the use of the telephone as a commercial device for taking excessive rights over other persons or as an invasion of privacy. This would include the making of commercial phone calls without knowing the individual receiver, repeating phone calls, etc. At present, Thailand has no legislation that clearly specifies a penalty provision to be enforced against those who make unsolicited phone calls of this type. In fact, the penalty provision under tort law has been adopted as the closest law to remedy damages caused by such unsolicited phone calls. As a result, Thailand should initiate government legislation specifying that such acts are criminal offenses, together with penalties. These measures should be taken to protect the rights of telephone users, and should include provisions for the registration of blacklisted numbers. This could be facilitated by conducting comparative study on the communication laws of the United States of America and the European Federation.
