The government has decided to ban social media platforms that have not been registered in Nepal.
The decision to ban social media platforms like Facebook was made because they have not contacted the authorities for registration.
The Supreme Court had issued a writ of mandamus to regulate and register social media platforms, and the Cabinet also decided to ban unregistered social media platforms in Nepal.
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has decided to implement this decision, according to the secretariat of Minister for Communications and Information Technology Prithvi Subba Gurung.
Viber and TikTok, however, are registered in Nepal.
