Six militant organisations and one individual in Bangladesh are in Facebook blacklist on October 12, reports The Daily Star. These are: Al Mursalat Media; Islamic State Bangladesh; Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B); Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT); Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB); Saham al-Hind Media, and Tariqul Islam, who is also affiliated with JMB. Facebook has developed a secret blacklist of over 4,000 individuals and organisations across the world that it considers ‘dangerous’ as a part of its Dangerous Individuals and Organizations (DIO) policy. All the Bangladeshi names fall under Tier 1, meaning discussing them on Facebook may result in heavy penalties. Those who commit ‘serious offline harm’, such as terrorists and militant organisations, are placed in Tier 1. Tier 2 includes ‘Violent Non-State Actors’, such as armed Syrian rebels, according to Facebook. Tier 3 consists of people and organisations that Facebook says violate its hate speech and dangerous organisation policies, but who’"haven't necessarily engaged in violence to date or advocated for violence’.
