Facebook to remove offensive contents

Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission has started the process of unblocking Facebook, as the website authorities have agreed to remove offensive contents.
BTRC Chairman Zia Ahmed informed BBC Bangla Service of this development after receiving feedback from the social networking site.
“I look forward to learn more about your local standards and work together to promote safe use of Facebook in Bangladesh,” said Joe Sullivan, chief security officerofFacebook.
Sullivan, in a mail to BTRC, also said, “My team is respon-sible for managing law
enforcement relations on Facebook and promoting a safe experience on the site for our users.”
He added, “I can be your main point of contact as we work through and establish detailed processes for removing troubling content in the future.”
The BTRC chairman said Facebook authorities have already removed some of the offensive links. He added, “As we now have a channel to communicate with the
Facebook team, I believe the issue will be resolved within a short time.”
He said the user, who posted the offensive items, was detected in the UK. "We are trying to contact the user to remove the contents."
Meanwhile, Dr Kamal Hossain and Associates have sent a notice yesterday to the information secretary, law secretary, BTRC chairman and science and ICT ministry, demanding they restore access to Facebook within 24 hours of
receipt of the notice.
The notice, signed by advocate Moin Ghani, said the action of blocking access to the website is violation of fundamental right as guaranteed by the constitution.
The notice has been served on behalf of three Facebook users, Arafat Hosen Khan, Kazi Ataul-Al-Osman and Rokeya Chowdhury.
Around nine lakh Facebook users in Bangladesh remain offline
since the government on Saturday 'temporarily' blocked access to the popular website.
The decision came after the arrest of a youth for uploading satiric images of some leading politicians including the prime minister and the leader of the opposition.
BTRC said the largest social networking website was blocked also for hosting of some anti-religious and pornographic links by users across the globe.
