State Minister for Posts and Telecommunications Tarana Halim on Tuesday said Facebook will not be blocked for any particular period of the day or night.
“We want to say clearly the Facebook won’t be blocked for any hour of the day or night, there is no question of blocking Facebook at night, even it’s not possible,” she said while speaking at a press briefing at the secretariat.
The junior minister said if the Facebook is shut, people will feel disturbed as many are involved in e-commerce.
Tarana said it is not possible to block it even from 12am to 6am as it is used by all worldwide and there is a time difference with many countries of the world.
“The news an online media and print media on Monday over blocking the Facebook in Bangladesh hurt us,” she said.
