Government is attempting to curb anti government websites under the guise of working against racism, sources say. The main target of the ban is reportedly the ‘Lanka e News’ site.
While the website is currently blocked without any court order, however it continues to thrive due to its facebook account.
According to sources the government is said to have informed the facebook company that if the ban on facebook is to be lifted then it must block accounts as informed by the TRC and CERT organizations.
While Lanka e news is known to be anti government, at no time has it incited racial violence in the country.
