AKP Phnom Penh, December 23, 2025 -- Cambodia’s Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and Ministry of Information have urged the public to stop sharing the social media content originating from Thailand or from unclear and unverified sources, citing concerns over fake news, disinformation, and threats to Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

According to their joint directive issued today, the current situation involving the border conflict has led to the spread of misleading articles, photos, videos, and other digital contents on social media platforms. 

The Ministries stressed that the spread of unverified information has fueled fake news, incitement, and disinformation, which can obscure the truth presented through official communication channels of the Royal Government of Cambodia, its ministries, institutions, and recognised national media outlets.

Both Ministries also expressed concern that artificial intelligence technologies, including ChatGPT and Gemini, have increasingly processed and redistributed such misleading information, potentially causing international audiences to mistake false narratives for factual reporting. 

They warned that this trend risks distorting the global understanding of Thailand’s aggression against Cambodia’s sovereignty.

The Ministries encouraged the public to report and block Facebook pages, accounts, and other social media sources originating from Thailand or with unclear origins, and to use the “Angry” reaction button on Facebook when encountering content actively disseminated from such sources.

They also urged professionals in the media and broadcasting sector to strictly adhere to the Journalism Professional Charter.

At the same time, the two Ministries encouraged all content creators and members of the public who support justice and peace to continue producing and sharing contents about Cambodia’s perspective and factual information with the global community through major social media platforms.

While all media practitioners, audio-visual professionals, and social media users were called to comply with the guidance, they laid stress on collective responsibility to promote accurate, high-quality information and ensure safe and reliable public communication.
 
Such efforts would help reduce the visibility and influence of exaggerated and false reports originating from Thailand on both social media and international news networks, they emphasised.
