Digital platform bill 'ready' for review

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) is pushing ahead with the government's digital platform economy bill, which aims to regulate digital service providers, strengthen consumer protection and promote fair competition in online markets.

DES Deputy Minister Nan Boonthida Somchai said the bill is being finalised and will be submitted to the Council of State, the government's legal adviser, for legal review before being forwarded to the cabinet.

She said the bill is expected to be considered by the House of Representatives in September.
