TikTok complied with their regulation last year. The regulations basically requires social media platforms with > 1 million nepalese accounts to get a license to operate in Nepal. The bill and requirments doesn't seem unreasonable, atleast according to https://www.lawgandhi.com/social-media-bill-2081-2025/ | ||

>Isn't it the most damaging? Depends on who you ask. I'd consider it damaging but nowhere near as damaging as X in recent times. And would consider FB worse that both for sheer the hysteria it generates in the old. | ||

I think it less like: governments see social media sites as damaging, so they ban them. It is more like: a lot of people see social media sites as damaging, so they don’t particularly care when their governments ban them for whatever arbitrary reasons the governments come up with. So, I’d expect the more that social media sites come back online to reflect their responsiveness to dealing with government demands, not the damaging-ness. | ||
