Social Media Banned in Bangladesh? Reports Say Bangladeshi Government Bans WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok Amid Violent Protests Over Reservation

In a significant move, the Bangladeshi government has reportedly banned access to major social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, in response to escalating violent protests over reservation policies on August 2. Following a previous shutdown of Meta’s platforms from July 17 to July 31, the latest measures specifically target mobile networks. Reports from Daily Bangladesh reveal that access to Facebook and the Russian messaging app Telegram has also been blocked on mobile connections. The recent actions reflect the government's continued efforts to control information flow during the unrest related to quota reform. Unlike the earlier comprehensive shutdown, the current restrictions are confined to mobile data connections. Bangladesh Shuts Down Mobile Internet for ‘Security’ Reasons As Student Protests Over Job Quota System Continue.
