#JUICYJAM
8/ The bottom line: JUICYJAM lives on.

The Thai army and police’s response is contradictory and fully unsatisfactory.

Social media platforms allow the operation to continue unabated.

We @citizenlab.ca, like everyone else exposing this IO and its authors, became targets.

6/ My colleague and co-author Katekanok (Kate) Wongsapakdee was next. For several weeks, up to this day, she was directly targeted by JUICYJAM. Among the information exposed was the fact that she had been an admin of the Free YOUTH group’s FB page - something she had kept very private to date.

5/ Meanwhile, @prachatai.com - the first Thai paper reporting on JUICYJAM - and then we came under attack from the operation.

Here’s how it started, with Prachatai.

2/ Let’s start with the official response. On May 1, TH authorities were grilled during a parliamentary committee hearing.

Our JUICYJAM report was directly referenced several times, for example on how information only available to government agencies could end up posted by anonymous accounts.

🧵 On April 16, we @citizenlab.ca published our report on JUICYJAM, a longstanding doxxing and harassment campaign that Thai authorities have been running against the local pro-democracy movement.

Unsurprisingly, we and those reporting on it then became their target.

4/ MP Chayaphon raises a great point here. How come JUICYJAM can’t be unmasked by the Thai authorities?

We think we have an answer to that.

3/ Again, admissions - the documents are accurate on the profiling and monitoring of “high-value targets”, but denial of involvement in what we call JUICYJAM.

Despite the docs, acknowledged as authentic, proving the contrary.

🧵 1/ Following our #JUICYJAM report @citizenlab.ca , the Thai authorities admit that the documents leaked to parliament - the ones containing evidence that they were running a longstanding IO using doxxing and harassment to target activists - were real. But *deny involvement in the IOs themselves*.
Thai Enquirer on X: "The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) has admitted to monitoring and profiling individuals and groups for national security purposes but denied using disinformation or launching cyberattacks as part of its information operations (IO). Leaked documents submitted to the https://t.co/yHeO0TdDA2" / X

4/ Then, I’m not entirely sure what this means. But my main takeaway, again, is: the documents allowing us to attribute JUICYJAM to the Thai military and/or police are authentic.

泰国政府利用人搜搜索压制异议

2025 年 3 月 25 日,泰国的一名反对派议员 Chayaphon Satondee 公开了机密军警文件,披露政府利用人肉搜索策略去打压异见人士压制批评。加拿大多伦多大学公民实验室对机密文件分析披露了代号为 JUICYJAM 的行动。泰国皇家警察通过在社交网络 X/Twitter 和 Facebook 上设立一系列账号,这些账号的头像都来自流行动漫《海贼王》,通过这些账号发布异见人士和抗议者的个人信息,骚扰抗议者,并鼓励社交网络上的跟随者向警方举报这些抗议者。 JUICYJAM 行动相当成功,相关账号有数以万计的粉丝。

We saw this playbook deployed before in Hong Kong. It’s out there in many other places.

With the crumbling of democratic safeguards globally, how long before it’s used here?
