Broadband internet service was restored in Bangladesh, but without access to social media services, around 1:20pm today, said an official of International Internet Gateway (IIF), which supplies bandwidth to broadband service providers
Facebook and WhatsApp, two widely used social media platforms, are reportedly inaccessible in Bangladesh as of today.
Social media companies including Facebook and TikTok have been sent letters by the government, said State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak after a meeting today with telecom operators at the BTRC (Bangladesh Telecom Regulatory Commission) Bhaban
Bangladeshi social media users are unlikely to get uninterrupted access to the platforms anytime soon as the government has put in strict blocking mechanisms until the tech companies comply with its demands.
