Sri Lanka Reintroduces Temporary Ban On Social Networks – Reports

Social networks, including Facebook and Youtube, have been temporarily blocked in Sri Lanka again, local media reported Monday

Some social networks were blocked on April 21 in the wake of Easter Sunday bombings that killed over 250 people and injured hundreds more.

Dozens have been detained since the country launched a massive anti-terrorist operation and investigation into the attacks. The ban was lifted later that month.

Some messaging applications, such as Whatsapp and Viber, were also blocked, according to the news First broadcaster.

The ban could be linked with a recent incident in Negombo, according to the media. On Sunday, clashes between ethnic Sinhalese people and Muslims took place there, and a curfew was imposed in the area
