Google Thailand is hosting the Safer Songkran event from April 3-6 at Samsennn Mitrtown under the Safer with Google program for the third consecutive year. They are announcing a collaboration with the Digital Economy and Society Ministry to enhance online safety for Thais through new features and campaigns.
One of the new features is Google Play Protect, designed to protect Android users from scams and financial fraud. The Pause Check Protect campaign encourages Thai people to stay vigilant, check, and prevent by offering easily understandable tips that can be shared to avoid falling victim to online scams.
The new anti-fraud feature on Android devices works by automatically blocking the installation of apps from unknown sources and attempts to access high-level permissions. Google Play Protect is elevating safety standards for users in Thailand, being the second country in the world after Singapore to have this feature. This complements existing multi-layered security measures on Android and Google Play, including spam protection in Google Messages, Google Safe Browsing in Chrome, and Google Play Protect.
In addition, the Pause Check Protect campaign, in collaboration with the Digital Economy and Society Ministry, aims to educate Thai people with content sharing good tips and recommending useful tools to combat various types of online scams. This campaign encourages Thai people to be mindful, check, and protect to enhance online safety. For more information on how Google ensures user safety, visit safety.google.
