Why Nepal Banned Social Media, And Why That's Not Only Trigger For Protests
Fourteen people have died and more than 100 have been injured after thousands of young Nepalese citizens hit the streets to protest the KP Sharma Oli government's move to ban 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, and X. The protests, which started in the capital Kathmandu, have now spread to other areas of the Himalayan country. Curfew has been imposed in several areas, including Baneshwor, Singhadurbar, Narayanhiti, and sensitive government areas.
