Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, July 28 — On July 27, Cambodia’s Anti-Cybercrime Department used its official channel to urge members of the public and journalists not to take, share or post photos or videos on social media showing Cambodian troop positions, movements or operations, to prevent the opposing side from identifying where troops were located.
The appeal concerned photos and videos that could reveal troop positions, movements or related operations.
The department also advised the public to turn off phone location services when taking and uploading photos to avoid revealing location information.
In the appeal, the department said members of the public had raised funds and donated necessities to support frontline soldiers and people evacuated from the conflict area.
The department described the border clashes since July 24 as a Thai invasion. Thailand, for its part, accused Cambodia of launching the first attack.
The border conflict forced many Cambodian residents, including older people and children, to leave their homes. Schools in some areas suspended classes, disrupting students’ education.
The department thanked those who had supported frontline soldiers.
