Why the Nepal government banned 26 social media platforms, how Chinese app Tiktok survived this, how did corruption, resentment of children of leaders increased from the luxurious life …
5 will know the answers to the important questions …
Question-1: Why performance in Nepal is being called the Gen-Z movement?
answer: The protests that are taking place in Nepal are being called the Gen-Z movement because the biggest participation in it is the youth. Especially the generation between 18 and 25 years called Generation Z (Gen-Z).
These youth have grown up on social media and internet. They are very active on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Ticketkock and YouTube. For this reason, when the government banned social media, the most resentment was seen among these youth.
The students involved in the demonstration took to the streets wearing school and college dress. In many places, he himself made banners and posters, raised slogans and protested against any political party. This is the reason why it is being called a rebellion of the new generation, not considering the movement of any party or organization, which people are calling Gen-Z Uprising or Gen-Z movement.
A young protestor escaped during the performance in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
Question-2: Why did social media close in Nepal?
answer: The Nepal government says that rumors and hatred were spreading from the fake account. This was increasing cyber crimes and social system was deteriorating.
For this, the government asked the companies to register in Nepal, appoint local representatives and grievances redressal officers and be accountable in content moderation.
For this, social media platforms were given time till 7 days i.e. 3 September. When companies like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp and X did not register within the stipulated time, they were closed.
Question-3: Why did 26 companies like Meta not register?
answer: According to the registration rules, every company was required to keep a local office in Nepal, appoint a local officer to remove the wrong content, respond to legal notices and share the data of the user with the government.
Companies find these conditions very strict in terms of data-priority and freedom of expression. According to reports, companies in big countries like India or Europe keep local representatives, because there are very high users, but the user base of Nepal is small, so companies found it very expensive.
If companies accept this condition of the Nepali government, then they would have been pressurized to follow these rules in other small countries, which are quite expensive. This is the reason that Western companies did not accept the condition of the Nepal government and did not register on time.
Question-4: What is the Napo Kid Trend that provokes the anger of the youth?
answer: For the last several months in Nepal, videos of the ash-o-in-rest life of leaders and their families were constantly becoming viral on social media. This trend is being called ‘NEPO KID / NEPO Baby’ in Nepal i.e. ‘children of powerful people’.
Video related to Napo Kid Trend …
In this, Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and Pushp Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ were specially targeted. Many such videos and photos were shared on social media platforms, showing their children with expensive cars, foreign education and branded clothes.
These pictures and videos increased anger and dissatisfaction among the youth. Per capita income in Nepal is just $ 1,300 annually. Seeing the increasing resentment of the youth, the government thought that if the situation is not controlled soon, the atmosphere could deteriorate. Under this pressure, the government issued an order to register social media companies in Nepal within seven days.
Question- 5: How did Chinese Tiktok app save from ban?
answer: According to reports, the ticket had completed the process of registration with Nepal Telecom Authority (NTA) soon after the government notice. For this reason, the ticket was saved from being blocked. Apart from ticket, platforms like Weetock and Viber also survived closing.
In such a situation, it can be said that the ticket was left from the ban because he accepted the conditions of the Nepal government in time and got his platform officially registered. At the same time, American companies ignored Nepal’s registration policy.
On the other hand, critics say that the Nepal government deliberately saved the tickets as it is already dependent on China’s pressure and investment.
