Facebook is unlikely to open an office in Bangladesh at present, its director of network operations, Dr Hayat Shahid Shipon, told Amar Desh. The report, published on July 25, 2026, says Facebook had previously discussed establishing an office in Purbachal near Dhaka with the former Awami League government, but did not proceed after its conditions were not addressed further.
Facebook reportedly sought security for its office and senior officials, prompt responses when it applied to the government, and protection from intervention when users expressed independent views on the platform. Bangladesh has about 130 million internet users, including 40.5 million Facebook users, nearly 20 million TikTok users and 30.5 million YouTube users, according to the report.
Users said the lack of local offices limits access to quick remedies for fraud, hacked accounts, false identities, harassment, cyberbullying and objectionable content. Telecom-related sources said Facebook believes a local office would have to manage a large volume of customer complaints. The report says the current government is reconsidering the establishment of Google and Facebook offices and has begun work under guidelines while holding discussions with domestic and foreign technology companies.
