During the anti-discrimination student protests, screenshots of conversations between several Awami League leaders and artists known to be close to the party have spread across social media. In a WhatsApp group named ‘Alo Asbei’ (Light Will Come), these leaders and artists were actively speaking out against the protests.

Garment workers in Ashulia, near Savar, Dhaka, are continuing their protests over various demands. Factories that were not witnessing protests were attacked, prompting authorities to close them for safety reasons.

With the rising trend of rumor-spreading on social media, a media platform named '1 Nojor' (pronounce ‘Ek Nojor’) is being launched to combat misinformation and disinformation. It will operate through public contributions in a social media format, where subscribers will share content. A strong moderation and fact-checking panel will be responsible for preventing misinformation.
