Nepali journalists display placards calling on the government to backtrack on its decision to impose a ban on social media, citing non-compliance with its order to get registered, during a protest in Kathmandu, Nepal, on September 7, 2025. The protest is called by the former office bearers and members of the Federation of Nepali Journalists, the umbrella organization of journalists in Nepal. The participating journalists carry placards with slogans reading ''#NoBan,'' ''Freedom of Expression Is Our Right,'' ''The People's Voice Cannot Be Silenced,'' and ''Democracy Is Being Hacked, Dictatorship Is Coming Back,'' among others. Rage slowly increases in Nepal against the government's decision to shut down over two dozen social media platforms, which it claims is an effort to tax the revenue they generate in the country and to control content critical of the government. Following the order from the government, social media sites go dark past midnight on September 4.
