Apparently, Viber and the Saudi government failed to come to an agreement, which led to the ban.Īccording to the Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission, they stated on its website that “Viber doesn’t meet the regulatory requirements and laws in the kingdom.” This statement also warns that any other applications that do not comply to the rules and regulations will be banned as well. Viber allows users to make calls, send text messages and share images and video files for free. On June 5, Saudi Arabia completely banned the popular web-based communication app, Viber.
