I went to USA and signed an agreement with then  US Vice President Al Gore and obtained internet to Sri Lanka.”Meanwhile, The Prime Minster said that representatives of Facebook are  expected in the country tomorrow to hold discussions with government  officials. “Our hope is not to ban Facebook but to confirm a number of rules in  relation to Facebook in the coming weeks. When these rules are confirmed  we have legal authority over monitoring information shared on social  media platforms.” Facebook is sending its representatives to the country following the  temporary ban imposed by the government on it and other social media  sites and messaging platforms following communal violence in Kandy last  week.
