in nepal posting in "vulgar" language is also forbidden by law, as is stuff like stating that you are poly on social media, so them passing another overreaching censorship law is no surprise.

    I have seen it's true face. Social media is an extended gutter and the gutter is full of ads and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their pop-ups and clickbait will foam up about their waists and and all the reply guys and soy boys will look up and shout "save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper... "No."

    I don't really like Tiktok. But, forcing the choice on people probably isn't the best idea either.

    It's CCP spyware. It should be banned everywhere.

    I've had it, a long with X and everything meta/Facebook banned on my home network for a while now. It's been great.

    Lol. I remember when Trump said he was going to ban it and everyone was like nooooo. This is so concerning for free speech. Now that it's not Trump doing it, everyone says: Great, everyone should ban it.

    The motivations to van the app matter. Trump wanted to ban it to censure the "wokes". Nepal bans it to prevent the spread of hate speach.

    Social media and mostly the mainstream ones became an issue for democracy. These private companies must moderate before publishing. We must take them to account for what is on their platforms. Social medias are responsible for what is on them at the same level as the people posting it. If they don't want to comply, it's a ban.
