The Nepalese government has decided to lift the ban on social media, recently imposed to combat fake news and incitement speeches. Thousands of young people protested in Kathmandu, demanding the lifting of restrictions and a fight against corruption, and the violence led to 19 deaths and over 100 injuries. This rapid concession by the authorities reflects the pressure exerted by young people, who demonstrated against the government's authoritarian attitude, highlighting deeper grievances than just the simple ban on social media.
