Nepal is facing unrest as mass protests sweep across Kathmandu. As per reports, thousands of people have taken to the streets over the Government’s recent decision to ban major social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and more. The ban, which was imposed last week in Nepal, comes after these platforms reportedly operated without registration.  Protests in Kathmandu reportedly turned violent, leading to clashes between police and demonstrators. Nepal PM K P Sharma Oli reportedly responded and said, "I hear of a planned 'Gen Z rebellion. We are not against platforms or social networks, we are against lawlessness, arrogance, and belittling our country." Nepal Social Media Ban: Government Bans Social Media Platforms Including Facebook, Instagram, X for Operating Without Registration.
