Bangladesh has barred its residents from using Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, YouTube, and other social media platforms.

According to Global Eyes News’ official X account, access to popular social media apps in the country has been banned starting Friday.

This follows a previous shutdown of Meta’s from July 17 to July 31 which was enacted in reaction to unrest related to quota reform protests.

The move also came hours after Turkey announced a ban on Instagram.
