Facebook, the top social network in the world, had restricted access to content in Bangladesh.
The restriction was implicated upon Bangladesh government request, says Facebook.
A total of 3 contents were restricted according to the Facebook report.
However, Facebook has not disclosed any details about the restricted contents.
“We restricted access in Bangladesh to a number of pieces of content reported under local laws prohibiting criticism of the state,” said the report.
Facebook recently released a report regarding the requests of governments of different countries towards them to restrict contents. These requests were submitted from July 2013 to December 2013.
Earlier, Bangladesh government had asked for personal information of 12 Facebook users to the Facebook authorities from January to June in 2013.
In the recent report, India requested to restrict 4765 contents, which is the highest among the countries. United States government asked for 18,715 user account information, which is highest in this regard.
Facebook reveals these statistics twice a year with six months data.
