Freedom of speech wiped out for 30M Nepalis2. Creators & small businesses lose income overnight3. People forced to VPN risk legal trouble on top of surveillance
>>106483178Free Tibet!!1 lol
>>106483178All of those are websites
that's a shamethey make the best rice
I wish they'd ban that nepalese retard that posts on /pol/
>>106483178>only TikTokkek is that cuz of all the monarchist protests that were going on? the communist government in control of Nepal is nothing but a stooge of China lmao
>>106483178>fReEdOm oF sPeEcHYeah dude it's totally a slight against anyone rights when a local government prevents Five Eyes intelligence gathering operations to run in their country while also shielding their boomers from foreign psyops.How's the weather at Eglin AFB today, by the way?
>>106483178That's what you get for electing communists.

[ANGRY LICH NOISES]
>>106483178Good riddance. No one needs that brainrot
>>106484732I don't know, ask the nepalese maybe?
>>106483178>-30M jeetsFUCK YES, I hope India, the rest of SEA and Latin America are next.
>>106485040Unironically this. Internet censorship acts as a hard filter for jeets and normies that don't know about Tor/VPN/proxies and/or too scared of the law to use them. Now it's guaranteed that anyone from Nepal on these sites has an actual functioning brain instead of mush.
>>106483178>30M Nepalisthere are 30 gorillion of you in that tiny area? jesus christ
>>106483178I unironically wish india would do this too. The internet would suddenly become a lot cleaner overnight, but we can't have nice things of course.
>>106483178the fuck is nepal
>>106485250>but we can't have nice things of course.We just gotta convince moody modi that the internet and VPNs are making indian's less nationalistic.

>>106485319It's where you can be a slave for 7 years or something.
>>106485040Its the other way aroundThose regiona are the only ones without internet control. Internet will be a thirdworld feature since Texas and EU bans
>>106483178Wait, if you are a Nepali expat doesn't that mean this doesn't affect you since you no longer live in Nepal?Or are you one of those anglotards who thinks words only refer english-speaking countries?
It's really easy to hack Nepali government websites. Indians do it constantly. Would love to see leaks of our (((bureaucracy))) and (((politicians))).
>>106483178Good.The west should do the same.
>>106483261TikTok is registered with the government, so it's allowed. The monarchist protests are part of it. Also the rise of a liberal party that's popular among young people that use social media platforms.>>106483270Foreign psy-op bad. Communist psy-op good. Limiting information does nothing for Nepalese.>>106484732TikTok is registered, so it can continue.>>106486302A liberal party has been rising among Nepalis moving abroad, the communists/socialists in government are trying to retard their growth.
>>106483178Most Europeans (let alone Americans) can't find your shithole on a map.Why do you think anyone will care?
>>106485250>India bans social media>One billion jeets come in here insteadHow about no
>>106486360>Limiting the ability of foreign intelligence agencies to propagandize directly to their population does nothing for NepaleseThe fuck “information” you talking about you slithering fucking snake? Stop pretending glorified frontends for the CIA are the only way to communicate online. Fucking clown shoes retard.
>>106483178>at a perpetual state of war against commie invaders slowly annexing your ass (mostly just to piss China off)>adopt their same authoritarian rules because... reasons?Yeah I get they're technically filthy commies to but I always figured they were more of the pragmatic diet flavor of that ideology sorta like what Vietnam does who for the most part is more than happy to leave you the fuck alone so long as your not committing fraud or shit talking the government.It's a shame they're going down this route.>FBTo be fair, that is literal boomer cancer and MK Ultra levels of fuckery though but I think simply educating their population so they can understand that 90% of that platform consists of bots an pys-op's would have been a better idea.Seriously WTF happened to just teaching kids how not to be retarded when using the Internet? I miss those corny videos they made me watch in school, never thought I'd be nostalgic for those.
>>106483178>NepalOh no................................................. ANYWAY
>>106487008The ban was to not some muh CIA thing retard. The ban was specifically brought into cull the recent support that alternative political parties are getting. Young people are no longer falling for the same old tricks that these old farts peddle. They can now force any registered company to remove content that does not meet their guidelines, i.e., communist propaganda. This decision wasn't even passed by the parliament, it was fully brought in by the cabinet because it would never pass. Also kys you mouth breathing retard that doesn't understand the world.
>>106485319ever heard of mt.everest you dumb fucking monkey? have you even seen a geography book in your entire miserable life? books are technology too. you should try reading one someday.
>>106487123>authoritarianThis site is 18+ sweetie.
Nepal is rightfully India's land. I'm not even playing right now.
No they didn't unfortunately
>>106483178KEEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>106487384>Nepal is rightfully India's land. I'm not even playing right now.Why are Hindu-Dindu's so shit at defending what's 'rightfully there's' from the PLA then?
>>106487382>daddy government restricting my rights (West)>\:(>daddy government restricting my rights (East)>:DI dunno what kind of retarded mental gymnastics you've gone through to rationalize that mind set but congrats I guess on achieving super retard status.
>>106487384Kys Brahman. India will balkanize soon.
>>106487519>*shit literally nobody was saying*>bet you feel pretty fuckin retarded now huhName me a state apparatus that does not claim a legal monopoly over the legitimate use of violence. Name me a state that isn't a dictatorship of one class over another. Name me a state that does not come down hard when it's ruling classes power and interests are threatened. I'll wait.>muh CIAs right to propagandize and psyop foreign populations while spying on all their communicationsDeeply unserious.
>>106486360>A liberal party has been rising among Nepalis moving abroad, the communists/socialists in government are trying to retard their growth.They are not doing enough. Every developing country should send its westernised liberals to reëducation-through-labor camps. Returnees from Anglo countries should be arrested on arrival. You are likely an enemy of the Nepali people, and deserve to work in the paddy fields for meager rations until you collapse.
>>106487582Lol a commie-tranny kys. I see the suffering of my people. I see the children of these (((communists))) vacationing abroad and barely working while I toil and save. I see how fat their guts are now. I see how they exploit the weak. Nepal has one of the highest remittance-to-GDP ratios in the world. Our biggest export is people. They've been selling our people and taxing their earning so they can fill their bellies. I sincerely hope for death for your kind.
>>106487619>I see the suffering of my peopleHi Langley.
>>106487582>nepal>people
>>106487619larping while talking like an autistic anime character isn't exactly the best way to push whatever talking points you want lurkers to see
>>106487653This was literally trending on Nepali TikTok a while ago. You can call it a larp or whatever, idc. The ban is to silence people's voices, anybody in Nepal can see that. I don't need to convince you of anything since it doesn't matter to you.
>>106487619not a fan of revisionists, but this is just pathetic>(((communists)))>using white-nationalist talking points as a brown personHow does the white cock taste? >I sincerely hope for death for your kind.I will outlive and bury you.
>>106487686Communists in Nepal are Brahmans who are worse than Jews. They've erased indigenous language and culture in Nepal while the current PM tries to simultaneously larp as a right wing nationalist and a communist. The current foreign minister literally campaigned telling people that if they voted for them they would get to go abroad for employment.I'm against any religion and I have no doubt while the average Jew is innocent and harmless, the conservative, orthodox Jews are no doubt controlling the world. Ultra-rich Muslims, Hindus and Christians try to do the same, it's stupid to think the Jews are different.
>>106487684Why don't you go back and agitate for the kind of government you want? Why do you stay in the West and let your remittances be taxed instead of returning home? Why do you feel so strongly about the need of your people to consume slop? Are you actually naive enough to think that posting on facebook is revolutionary ?Dumbass.
>>106483178>Creators & small businesses lose income overnight
why are indians allowed to post on 4chan?>SAAAR I AM NEPALESE NOT INDIANliterally the same shit
>>106487779Same reason burgers are allowed to.
>>106487759New parties are on track for a majority in the next election. This is a desperate attempt at crackdown of their support. The bureaucratic and political obstacles that they create to work in Nepal are unsurmountable. I'm here to study and I will go back.Posting in Facebook is "revolutionary" as it shows people that other people are tired of the old parties too. We had opinion polls for elections for the first time in 2024. The response of the right-wing Hindu party was to tell everyone that people should not be allowed to do that since it influences other people. Yeah, it does. It shows people that they are not alone in wanting change. Nepal has nothing to offer your letter agencies, most Nepalis don't care. The only ones that do care are running the government since they want a stronghold over the media people consume.People use social media for more than consuming slop. I literally cannot talk to my family back home because of this. Nepal has some of the worst prices for mobile data and only Viber and TikTok are not banned. They're both absolute horseshit and are worse in regards to slop.The liberal party that everybody flocked to started 1 month before our election and all of their campaigning was on social media. Nobody believed they'd win one seat, but they're the fourth largest party and were in the ruling coalition for a month. The current government jailed the leader on some charges while their own corruption is unpunished.This is literally a move to stop the agitations. We had a Maoist insurgency until 2006. People are tired of killing fellow Nepalis. Destroying the entire country does nothing for Nepalis. People want democratic change.
>>106487862>the liberal party started campaigning on the foreign intelligence service propaganda app>banning the foreign intelligence service propaganda app is considered a direct "crackdown" on what is being framed as an organic and popular movement within nepali societyFolks, when Eglin sends their airmen, they're not sending their best.
>>106487991Do you trannies get the same playbook? The government supporters make this same argument. Keep Nepal dumb, Keep Nepal poor. I'm sorry I wasted your one braincell.
>>106487759>>106487862>>106487991>>106488043Well that sounds inconvenient. What's stopping alt parties from just doing it the old fashioned way and just knocking on doors an putting flyers up though?
>>106488100Terrain. I implore you to look at Nepal's geography. Some villages take a few days trek to reach from the nearest airport assuming you even get a flight. It's not impossible, but takes significant manpower and willpower. Some villages are also just a few hundred people and the biggest parties have existing bases there. A lack of law and order means that during election time people are literally out threatening opposition candidates. You'd only need a few scores men and some modern weapons to take over the Western Hills and mountains of Nepal, which was exactly what the Maoists did.
>>106483307IRC, XMPP, SimpleX Chat not listed. Coincidence?
>>106483178BASED Nepal. No more foreign subversion nd color revolution from yankee doodle shits
>banning social mediabased>banning messaging apps and websites that are obviously not social mediacringe
thats actually fucked up, shame there's no real media coverage
>>106483178So? Russia has all those services banned, and they got 140M people, they don't seem to care.
>>106485245its all mountains, so theres even smaller habitable area
>>106483178I thought that it was a democracy.
>>106490503It used to be a parliamentary monarchy, but then there was a palace massacre and civil war (maoist insurgency), china funds communists in Nepal.>>106487532Big Talk nepali chamar
>>106487619>my peoplewhich ones are you talking about? Nepal isn't a homogenous country, there are different tribes there.

>>106483178>1. Freedom of speech wiped out for 30M Nepaliscompletely wrong. they can still speak. you don't have a right to publish material on a foreign computer

How much will I make by launching facebook and what's up clones targeted to nepalis?
>>106491814>useless triviaIf you consider yourself a North European ancestry Aryan you would be the first to openly engage with Iranians and Hindus as they are essential to understand the formation of Indo-Europeans and anythint coming from it.From your reply to them it seems like you did not. From that I can only deduce that you are either really uneducated (do you stock shelves at walmart) or are some kind of non Indo European. Tell me which one is it?
>>106487008kill yourself schizo
>>106487580>>muh CIAs right to propagandize and psyop foreign populations>Deeply unserious.And you've completely disregarded my previous statement >>106487123 on how to nullify CIAnigger pys-ops. Simply teach your citizens how to spot them and not fall for the destabilization bait that opens the floodgates to Blue Helmets global homo troopers. There, now we can all enjoy a free open internet once everyone is taught how to not be absolute dipshits on it.
>>106483178Good. Hopefully India, Bangladesh and Pakistan follow.

Napal mentioned
>>106490464Because every single russian is competent enough to circumvent those. This thread is entirely focused on the politics instead of the technolo/g/ though so they can drown for all I care.The real fucked up business in russia is just starting with a government mandated everything app, the next generation of russkis will be fucked out of technical literacy by design.
>>106499992>The VPNs however are not threats in any way.That's just to make sure the average guy doesn't go ahead and install VPNs to get around the block. This whole thing is retarded anyway. Commies are always the problem Fuck the commies.
