Censors always use something superficially "reasonable", and another part you're missing: there is no way anyone reasonable would do the ban for such trivial infractions if these demands were all there is to that.

The affected don't care enough about the market to submit to the demands so soon?

I assume you feel the same about EU's regulations.

That's the interesting thing to me. They seem quite similar fundamentally but there are a couple key differences in the dynamic.

1) Nepal is a small country so these large companies just dont have to care so much

2) People on Hackernews probably have a higher opinion of the EU's governance

But fundamentally, the laws themself seem extremely similar.

		This tends to happen a lot with news of regulatory policies in the global south where Western commentators will hold them to standards of libertinism that don’t even really apply in their own countries. It’s some combination of ignorance about what the regulatory environment actually is at home and a certain condescending assumption that OUR regulators are fair minded and competent but THEIR regulators must all be corrupt incompetents with an authoritarian streak.
