Nepal’s decision highlights a global tension: How do countries regulate big tech without becoming censors themselves? On one hand, platforms like Facebook and X have plenty to answer for. On the other, cutting off access feels like a step toward digital isolation.
It’s a reminder of why decentralized platforms (like Mastodon) are so important—they can’t be shut down by a single government. But until they’re mainstream, users are caught in the crossfire.
P.S. Honestly, my dream solution? Ssocial networks into public ownership—because let’s face it, the current model is broken. Until then, this 😂 (but true) song sums it up perfectly:
