India's telecoms regulator blocks Facebook's Free Basics internet service inside the country.

Facebook authority hires a translator for helping them understand the “objectionable” Bangla language posts in the social networking platform.

Technology and social media have become inseparable from our daily life. But is it so bad when the most widely used social media site is banned by the Bangladesh government? Shanjida Sharmin writes about a day without facebook in her city life. "So now I felt different; I discovered that there are some green chilies hanging from a small plant in my balcony. And also some small, thin white chili flowers."

The existing bar on Facebook, WhatsApp and Viber will go after the “situation becomes normal”, country’s telecom regulatory body said today.
