Nepal has ordered a nationwide block on 26 major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, WhatsApp and LinkedIn, after they failed to register with the Ministry of Communications within a seven-day deadline. Acting on a Supreme Court directive in a contempt case, internet providers were told to restrict access until compliance. Nepal’s 2080 Directive mandates local registration, appointment of a contact person, and systems for user complaint handling. TikTok, Telegram, and Viber remain accessible as they have registered or are registering.
Sad to see we are heading this way. This is a move to hide the corruption and incompetence of current government.
There's an unorganized protest planned tomorrow and we've seen that protest hasn't yielded any good results worldwide.
However bad democracy may seem, any system other than democracy is much worse.
The youths need to be more organized and come up with a democratic way of deciding on things and policies and establish a new system based political force and make changes through elections.
