“If even a single illicit page remains, we will immediately discuss what legal steps to take against Facebook Thailand,” Takorn Tantasith, secretary-general of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, told reporters. “Facebook must either remove the remaining 131 pages by Tuesday morning or face legal action,” he said. He warned that the digital economy and society ministry could file a complaint with the police against Facebook Thailand. At least five people have been arrested for sharing Facebook posts by one of the scholars, Paris-based historian Somsak Jeamteerasakul. The Facebook pages for all three of the banned critics remain viewable on Friday in Thailand.
