Bangladesh has imposed a ban on several popular social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and YouTube, as per reports.

The move, announced yesterday, August 2, effectively restricted access to these widely used social networks nationwide.

According to Times of India, Global Eyes News first reported the ban through its official X account, confirming that from Friday onward, access to these social media networks would be limited throughout Bangladesh.

The decision comes shortly after Turkey announced a similar action earlier on a ban on Instagram. The ban came after Turkey’s presidency’s communications director, Fahrettin Altun, accused the platform of impeding people from publishing messages of condolence for Hamas’ leader Ismail Haniyeh.

According to reports, this latest ban follows a July suspension of Meta’s platforms Instagram and Facebook. The earlier shutdown was in response to widespread unrest witnessed in the country over quota reforms.
