14 Sept 17:34 Key points summarised by AI

The Constitutional Court has initiated legal action against two online news outlets, "The Critics" (Facebook) and "Thai Direction Institute" (YouTube), for allegedly spreading false and distorted information regarding its judicial proceedings.
The Court claims the outlets misquoted a judge's comment to Paetongtarn Shinawatra during a witness hearing, changing "Sit down, please" to "Sit down, my child," which it asserts damaged its reputation and potentially violated the Computer Crime Act.
