The Bangladesh Embassy in Bucharest has urged Bangladeshi nationals living in Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Moldova to remain responsible and cautious when using social media and other online platforms.
The embassy issued the advisory on Monday night (August 17), urging expatriates to exercise particular caution when posting or sharing content on sensitive issues.
The advisory said social media has become a major means of communication and information sharing. However, careless posts, comments, photos or videos can lead to legal complications.
The embassy advised Bangladeshis to be especially careful when posting or sharing content related to religion, politics, national security, public order and other sensitive matters.
It also urged expatriates to verify the authenticity of information before sharing any post or content.
The embassy asked them to refrain from posting content that violates local laws or is provocative, threatening, discriminatory, or encourages violence or extremism.
It also urged Bangladeshis living abroad to respect the laws, social values and local sensitivities of their host countries.
The embassy said responsible and restrained use of online platforms can help expatriates avoid legal complications and also play an important role in upholding Bangladesh’s image and dignity abroad.
