Social Media reactivated in Sri Lanka

President Maithripala Sirisena has instructed the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) to lift the blockade imposed on all social media platforms today (Apr 30).

Social media had remained blocked until today after a blockage was imposed in the wake of the Easter Sunday attacks to curb the spread of misinformation among the public.

However, following the removal of the blockage the government has requested the general public to share content on social media sites with utmost responsibility while bearing in mind the current situation of the country.
