Nepal has lifted a ban on social media platforms following mass protests and the killing of 19 people in clashes with security forces, a government minister said.

Cabinet spokesman and Minister of Communication and Information Technology Prithvi Subba Gurung said early on Tuesday that the government had rolled back the social media ban imposed last week.

    Nepal isn’t banning them for those reasons though. Nepal is very much a country that is trying to not lose its people to the tech corps so they passed a law requiring the tech corps to register to operate in the country, something that is required in numerous other countries.
