Also, it will help Thai government more accountability and makes people participates in political which will improve democracy. The adoption of deregulation to trusted NGOs also has the potential to improve significantly the efficiency and accountability of government.

Moreover, Thai government participates in social media would ensures efficient trust information source and reduces cost in cyber security that people can share and receive a correct information.
