(Reuters photo)The Digital Economy and Society Ministry has agreed to drop the plan to block Facebook access in Thailand after the social media network agreed to block more of the illicit posts requested by the ministry. "We found Facebook did not block the remaining 131 posts because it has yet to receive the original court orders to block them. That's why Facebook didn't block all the posts by 10am on Tuesday," he said. "After Facebook received the original court orders, it blocked them within 24 hours." "We should be able to block all the illicit posts by this month," he said.
