Nepal’s plan to ban some social media triggers protests, raising concerns over freedom of expression

Nepal’s government is considering a ban on certain social media platforms, citing concerns over national security and misinformation.

The proposal has sparked widespread protests, particularly among youth and activists, who argue it threatens freedom of expression.

Critics claim the ban is a pretext to suppress dissent and control online narratives ahead of upcoming elections.

The government has not finalized the list of targeted platforms, but TikTok is reportedly under scrutiny, as confirmed by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw’s stance on similar bans elsewhere.

As reported by the Associated Press, the situation remains tense as authorities weigh public backlash against their regulatory plans.
