When the situation comes under control, mobile internet will be opened soon: Palak
Users have been suffering from mobile internet since Wednesday night after quota reform activists announced 'complete blockade'. Users complained that they did not receive any advance message from the operators. But when you go to Messenger, WhatsApp, it shows Network 2G. As a result, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, imo and other apps cannot be accessed due to mobile internet being off. Users are also unable to access websites. But broadband internet is working.
In response to the questions of the journalists in this regard, the State Minister for Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak said that there was no previous announcement. Depending on the environment and situation, we provide technical support for the cooperation of intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies. Social media has now become the weapon of choice for rumors and misinformation. So mobile internet has been stopped temporarily. The environment will soon be under control. When law and order is under our control and we can be free from fear; Connection will be provided shortly.

I am getting everyone's support considering it is our national and civil security. Because of this, there may be some temporary loss or suffering. But we have to consider both physical and digital equally. Contacted by Facebook today. Still, we can't be too confident or optimistic. Because they show weak reasoning. They are not acceptable in any way. Their privacy policy setting doesn't seem logical to us. They respond country and incident wise. It can't be.
