Nepal social media ban: In a massive protest against the KP Sharma Oli government and its recent action to ban 26 social media platforms in Nepal, the Gen Z generation of Nepal is spearheading a massive protest in Kathmandu where 18 people have been reported to be killed and more than 80 people are injured. Here are all the details you need to know about the Nepal social media ban and the resulting protest in Nepal.
As a part of the protests, organisers have been using social media to provide information regarding protest routes and safety tips and they have asked students to participate in the demonstrations in their uniforms, while carrying books, a report by IANS news agency said.
Notably, the KP Oli government blocked 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and YouTube, for failing to register with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology on September 4.
“…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. For a year, we told social networks: Register under Nepal’s law, pay taxes, and be accountable. They replied, ‘We don’t know your constitution.’ Then intellectuals complain: four jobs lost. But are four jobs bigger than national self-respect? For self-respect, maybe four jobs go for four days, but new ones will come. They cannot be operators, managers, and consumers all at once…:, Nepal PM Oli has said on the protests.
