‘A River Of Blood’: Sri Lanka Blocks Facebook, WhatsApp After Wave of Islamic Bombings of Churches on Easter, Citing “Misinformation Concerns” About Islam
“It was a river of blood. Ash was falling like snow.”
Imagine if anyone dared to shutdown social media after Christ Church shooting in order to protect the ideology of the shooter. Every deadly Islamic attack is followed by more sharia, more proselytizing, more taqiya shoved down our throats while all other attacks are blamed on the “right” without any connection whatsoever. People are going to rise up against this war against truth and freedom
As Christians in Sri Lanka gathered on Sunday morning to celebrate Easter Mass, the culmination of Holy Week, powerful explosions ripped through three churches packed with worshipers, leaving hundreds of victims amid a havoc of splintered and blood-spattered pews.
In what the police said were coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by a single group, bombers also struck three hotels popular with tourists. At least 207 people were killed and 450 others injured, a police spokesman, Ruwan Gunasekera, said.

Sri Lanka Blocks Facebook After Bombings, Citing Misinformation Concerns
Chris White | Daily CallerThe decision to block social media was taken in reaction to false news reports spreading on social media following the bombings, the president’s secretary, Udaya Seneviratne, said in a press statement. The block will continue until officials conclude their investigation into the matter, media reports note.
Sri Lanka has struggle to stamp down sectarian violence. The government temporarily shut down Facebook and WhatsApp in 2018 to curb potential anti-Muslim violence. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe warned the public not to believe false information circulating about the bombings Sunday.A Facebook representative confirmed the government had shut down the platform in the wake of the attacks. Much of the information about the attacks coming out of Sri Lanka are a result of people sharing photos on Facebook and other social media sites.
