The state minister for posts and telecommunications said Facebook had assured Bangladesh that it would respond to specific safety concerns within 48 hours of receiving a complaint.
Junior minister Tarana Halim was speaking at a press conference held at the Secretariat on Sunday.
"We had a fruitful discussion with Facebook officials for the south-east Asian region during my visit to Singapore.
“They assured us they would take action or inform us about they were doing,” Tarana said.
“Facebook, Inc. said there was no need to set up an administrative panel in Bangladesh to curb criminal activities using the social media platform,” she added.
“The company would take action on security issues within 48 hours of receiving a complaint through proper Bangladesh government channels."
Tarana sat in a meeting with Facebook officials in Singapore on January 12 to negotiate a deal with the social network website.
