The police spokesperson revealed that the explicit live stream likely escaped Meta's AI detection system by being released through "large pages" with hundreds of thousands to millions of followers, causing the content to be quickly promoted in feeds. Meanwhile, cyber police are urgently coordinating with Meta to investigate the source page and account owner, as well as to apprehend those involved. They believe the performer is not Thai. As for government agency pages that viewed the content, it may be due to administrators acting without full awareness.
On 25 May 2026, Police Lieutenant General Trairong Phiwpan, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Police, addressed the widespread online criticism after explicit sexual streaming clips were shared on Facebook pages. He stated that cyber police have been ordered to promptly coordinate with Meta, Facebook's service provider, to investigate and remove the offending content.
Initially, after Meta was informed, they proceeded to take down the implicated page. Meanwhile, the investigation into the perpetrators found preliminary evidence indicating that the performers and the language used do not appear to be Thai. The filming location remains under detailed examination.
Police Lieutenant General Trairong further explained that preliminary checks suggest the incident may not have been a direct live stream but rather a video released through streaming systems and then shared via various pages. They are currently requesting detailed information from Meta to trace all account owners and related individuals. Regarding the first user who disseminated the clip, police are seeking information on whether the user registered their identity. They also plan to discuss with the platform ways to prevent similar issues from recurring.
The police spokesperson revealed that Meta initially explained that the content evaded the platform's AI detection because the offenders released it via "large pages" with follower counts ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Some pages may have cooperated in distributing illegal content, while others might have been hacked or hijacked. Meta must conduct further in-depth investigations. A key factor in the rapid spread was that when many users viewed the content simultaneously, the algorithm interpreted it as trending content, automatically boosting its visibility widely despite violating platform rules.
Regarding why such content was widely seen in Thailand, Police Lieutenant General Trairong noted two possibilities: first, the content was targeted specifically at Thai audiences or geo-tagged to Thailand by the page owners themselves; second, it was released globally but happened to be seen first by Thai administrators or users with large followings, who then viewed or shared it, causing rapid viral spread in Thailand. After police notified Meta, the platform is now working quickly to improve detection and address the problem.
The Royal Thai Police spokesperson stated that cyber police have been fully tasked with the investigation. Police Major General Niwet Apawasinsak, deputy commander of the Cyber Crime Suppression Division, has met with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society to obtain detailed information about the page owners and related parties. If it is found that these are not fake or avatar pages but represent real individuals—even if located abroad—but with impacts or distribution in Thailand, it may constitute a violation under Thai law. For offenders outside the kingdom, if sufficient evidence is gathered, police can request arrest warrants from the courts, but apprehension requires international cooperation.
Police Lieutenant General Trairong also commented on those who liked, shared, or viewed the clip, saying that intent must be carefully considered, as many might have been shocked or unaware of the content before clicking. Under criminal law, behavior and intent must be examined together. Regarding observations that official government agency pages, such as the Department of Disease Control, commented on the live stream, this may have been due to administrators' unawareness or efforts to verify if the content was illegal. Some may also not have known the correct procedure for reporting via the 'three-dot' menu on the post or page.
