Thailand’s broadcasting regulator plays down Facebook ban saying it was mere “speculation and not true”

BANGKOK: -- The secretary of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission has said that the Thai authorities never intended to ban Facebook.

 

Thakorn Tanthasit was speaking after a meeting with an Asian internet federation and ISPs who came asking for clarification about the actions of the Thai government.

 

He said that alleged moves by the government to shut down Facebook were just speculation and not true.

 

But he affirmed that the government want to work with providers to ensure that illegal content is kept away from Thailand, Daily News reported.

 

He said that he reiterated with those at the meeting that where court orders had been obtained then sites with illegal and harmful content must be blocked.

So somebody is lying, plain and simple.
