according to Read the full Bangkok Post report about Facebook's shutdown threat in Thailand hereRead the full story by Khaosod English here The government had given Facebook a Tuesday 10 a.m. local time deadline to remove the content or face legal action, the Bangkok Post reported Tuesday. A Facebook spokesperson told CNBC that the company will review requests such as that by the Thai government and remove content that violates the law. "When governments believe that something on the Internet violates their laws, they may contact companies like Facebook and ask us to restrict access to that content. After the ultimatum passed, Tispa president Morakot Kulthamyothin told Khaosod English that Facebook stands by its policy.
As it stated in "This action may affect the entire delivery services of www.facebook.com to customers in Thailand," Tispa wrote, according to the Bangkok Post. Hours before the deadline, internet providers said they were under pressure to shut down access to Facebook in Thailand. "We found Facebook did not block the remaining 131 posts because it has yet to receive the original court orders to block them," Takorn Tantasith said. The brinkmanship appeared to have worked, with the secretary general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission announcing after the deadline that Facebook was cooperating. The military-run administration briefly cut access to Facebook after it launched a coup on 22 May 2014.

Thailand backs down on threat to ban Facebook
The government of Thailand has backed down on a threat to ban Facebook if it did not block content deemed to be illegal in the country. Google and YouTube deleted at least 469 web pages in response to recent government requests, according a report from The Nation. Rather than risk a public backlash from a full-out block, Thailand has instead pursued a policy of censoring specific pieces of content within the social network. While Thailand hasn't enforced a ban on Facebook at this time, it did temporarily block the social network in May 2014, one week after the military seized control of the country via a coup. Facebook opened an office in Thailand in September 2015, and its audience measure tools suggest it has up to 45 million monthly users.to read more visit us Facebook
