Dhaka, Bangladesh – Provocative selfies earned Bangladeshi social media star Sanai Mahbub a reprimand from Bangladesh police on Monday, as authorities in the conservative Muslim country step up their campaign against adult content online. The aspiring actress, who regularly posts suggestive but fully-clothed photographs on social media platforms, hit local headlines last year after becoming the first Bangladeshi celebrity to announce that she had undergone breast enhancement surgery. Nazmul Islam, a senior official of the Dhaka police cyber-crime unit, said the actress was “counseled” by officers and told to remove the “vulgar” content. So we don’t want content which goes against our social norms, especially for children,” he told AFP. Bangladesh has launched a crackdown on internet pornography in recent weeks, with telecoms regulators ordering service providers to block hundreds of adult websites.
