Nepal moves to block Facebook, X, YouTube and others

Nepal plans to shut down major social media platforms like Facebook and X due to non-compliance with registration requirements. The government aims to combat online hate, rumors, and cybercrime. Companies had a deadline to register and provide local contacts.

"Unregistered social media platforms will be deactivated today onwards," said ministry spokesman Gajendra Kumar Thakur. Only five platforms, including TikTok, have registered so far. Critics argue that the sudden closure infringes on public rights. Bhola Nath Dhungana claimed, "This directly hits the fundamental rights of the public."

Nepal previously restricted access to the Telegram app and had lifted a TikTok ban last year.

SITREP: The Government of Nepal Collapses, Military Announced they would Take Charge

- Protests Erupt Over Social Media Ban and Corruption: Demonstrations began yesterday, triggered by the government's ban on 26 social media platforms (including Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube) for failing to register; unrest quickly expanded to broader grievances like rampant corruption, economic hardship, and nepotism, with thousands defying curfews in Kathmandu and other cities.

- At least 22 people killed and over 300 injured since Monday, primarily from police using live rounds, rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons; protesters stormed and set fire to parliament, government buildings like Singha Durbar, and residences of leaders including PM Oli's home in Bhaktapur.

- Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned today amid escalating violence; President Ram Chandra Poudel and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak also stepped down, with Oli reportedly fleeing the country; the social media ban was lifted, but protests continue demanding systemic reforms.

- The Nepal Army announced it would take charge of security to restore order, deploying troops under constitutional provisions for civil unrest
