BANGKOK: The Facebook social media site was still available in Thailand on May 16 after concerns arose that authorities would shut it down if Facebook did not take down content deemed threatening to national security. 

Thailand's telecoms regulator said last week it would give Facebook Thailand until Tuesday to take down 131 web addresses with content deemed threatening to security or which violated strict lese majeste laws.
