Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa said that the availability of VPN makes social media ban completely useless and urged the authorities to reconsider the decision to block social media platforms.

" I will never condone the blocking of social media. The availability of VPN, just like I’m using now, makes such bans completely useless. I urge the authorities to think more progressively and reconsider this decision," he tweeted.(Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

Sad to see a govt with 2/3rds majority support of the people messing and ruining the country and the lives of its citizens like this. No proper plan of action yet communicated annoying and disappointing the citizens and now blocking communication channels.

So the only reason not blocking social media is because we can use VPN? Not the severe violation of human rights?
