The news article I have chosen to write about is an article describing the Bangladesh government’s decision to block several 191 online portals. They have chosen to do so as a result of “misleading anti-state content” has been appearing on these websites and to protect state security the Bangladesh government directed the Posts and Telecoms Division to block these “anti-state” portals. Now while examples of the “misleading anti-state content” was not listed and the severity of this content is unknown we can still gather an understanding of how the Bangladesh’s government operates in response to words aimed against it. The censorship of these articles speaks to the restricted freedom of expression that is held by the Bangladeshis and how under the government’s censorship propaganda towards changing or rebelling against the government is restricted. This raises the question as to whether the “misleading anti-state content” was misleading at all or did it paint the Bangladesh government in a poor light and was subsequently silence.
