In a recent announcement on March 31, 2024, a state-sponsored and funded website extended warm wishes for a Happy Easter, stating, "Happy Easter! Wishing everyone who celebrates a peaceful and joyous day with family and friends." However, the website also made it clear that certain content is restricted on their platform, as they emphasized, "This website is a state-sponsored and funded site and as such campaign-related posts, content and comments are prohibited by ethics regulations."

As the website operates under strict ethics regulations, they ensure that campaign-related content is not allowed on their platform. This decision aligns with their commitment to maintaining a neutral and unbiased online environment.

Additionally, the website displayed their copyright notice, stating, "Copyright © 2024," underscoring their ownership rights and protection of intellectual property on the platform.

As users engage with the state-sponsored website, it is essential for them to adhere to the guidelines set forth by the ethics regulations to uphold the integrity and neutrality of the platform.
