Social Media Shutdown in Sri Lanka

Dearest lovable people of our beautiful island,

It is with profound sadness I write this message to you all. It doesn’t not make sense for us to hold any discussions or blames on social media shutdown. Hence we have to advise and help them to use in a good manner.

Still I saw some unwanted posts and rumors around the Internet, please avoid posting news from unreliable sources. Through this we should not encourage people to access Social medias through VPN. Also please use social media smart enough to provide support to the people.

Of course security has been increased around the country and all hotels and public places are being guarded. We will share with you as and when more information surface about the incidents.

We will do our utmost to be extra vigilant to ensure the safety of our people. You have been with us at our worst and seen us through very difficult situations, I ask you again on behalf of all Sri Lankans and especially our team, help us to protect them from further incidents. Please continue in the same spirit to ensure safety of our people.

We cannot and must not let these incidents rule our lives. Hope that all of you are safe and be smart enough to protect this island again. Please stay safe.

Regards — Gohulan ISOC Sri Lanka Chapter
