From mid-July to early-August 2024, a series of internet blackouts occurred in Bangladesh during the July Revolution, when the Sheikh Hasina administration ordered internet to be shut down across the country.
The first nationwide shutdown of internet access begun on 18 July during the quota reform movement, which was restored on 24 July for broadband connections and on 28 July for mobile connections, but social media establishments like Facebook, Instagram continued to be blocked, which was initially restored on 31 July. Following the renewed unrest, the second shutdown on 4G networks was imposed on 4 August, but restored on 5 August following the resignation of Sheikh Hasina.
