Bangladesh Bans Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp Other Social Media Apps

Bangladesh has banned the use of Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, YouTube and other social media networks by its citizens.

Global Eyes News disclosed this in its official X account on Friday.

The implication is that from Friday, access has been restricted to these widely-used social media apps throughout the country.

This follows a previous shutdown of Meta from July 17 - July 31 which was implemented in response to unrest related to quota reform protests.

The announcement comes hours after Turkey announced a ban on Instagram.
