[Thailand has principally used contract tracing to control the spread of covid-19. This has included the requirement that people use an app to check into and report their location.
Particularly after the abduction of dissident Wanchalearm in Cambodia, anti-government groups have accused the government of accessing people’s mobile phone data to track and destroy the opposition.]
