Student Union Hold Protest Against Social Media Bill In Nepal

Demonstrators hold placards demanding an amendment to the Social Media Bill tabled in the federal parliament of Nepal in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 12, 2025. The Bill proposes provisions for a license (with a two-year validity) for any companies, firms, or institutions to operate digital platforms and the renewal of the permission, granting the rights to the concerned authorities to ban the operation of such platforms and remove content in violation of the terms and conditions. It also proposes conditions for the users of social sites. The opposition, as well as social media users, claim these provisions attempt to impose censorship and curtail basic human rights.
