Nepal blocks Facebook, X, YouTube and others for failing to register with the government | AI News Digest
Nepal has announced a ban on major social media platforms, including Facebook, X, and YouTube, due to their failure to register with the government. The Minister for Communication and Information stated that these platforms had been given multiple notices to comply with local regulations. While TikTok, Viber, and a few others have registered and will continue to operate, the move has raised concerns among rights groups. Critics argue that the government's actions are an attempt to censor dissent and limit freedom of expression. The government insists that the regulations are necessary for accountability and responsible use of social media.
