A spate of live-stream suicides in Thailand in recent weeks has drawn grave concerns from health experts and the broadcast regulator over incidents of copycat behaviour. "We are seeing this new and disturbing trend of publicising violent actions via Facebook Live," Dr Boonruang said. "Some may want to get their name in social media, to seek attention." "If a friend or relative sees someone they know posting this sort of thing on social media, they should not ignore that cry for help. "It's not only suicide live streaming that will be regulated.... striptease and other inappropriate content will be covered as well," he said.
