Fake forum comments are 'eroding' trust in the web
Trust in information on the web is being damaged by the huge numbers of people paid by companies to post comments online, say researchers.

Facebooked on charges: Hitting 'like' may land you in jail
Fifteen years behind bars is the price you could pay for “liking” some Facebook pages in Thailand. Outrageous? Unfortunately, it is just a part of a global trend as Big Brother’s hand is increasingly extended to social networks.
Thailand’s information minister has warned that people “liking” or “sharing” Facebook pages considered derogatory to the King and the royal family will be charged with violating the country’s lèse majesté laws, a crime punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
He advised them to “unlike” the pages and to remove any comments posted or risk harsh penalties, The Bangkok Post reports.
