Andrea Bolaños Vargas, UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders, welcomed the Thai Court of Appeal's ruling that the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) is liable for the damages against human rights defenders Angkhana Neelapaijit and Anchana Heemmina through digital attacks and disinformation campaigns.

This report examines the Thai military’s operations on the digital battlefield during the two rounds of heavy fighting through web-scraped data collected from social media communications and hashtag usage. The analysis covers 6,404 posts published between July 12, 2025 and January 2026 by the official Facebook pages of the Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Navy, and the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters—the three military institutions that were most active during the clashes.—as well as a number of unofficial pages.
