Nepal Lifts Social Media Ban After Deadly Protests Leave 19 Dead, Over 100 Injured.

Nepal has lifted a social media ban, which sparked protests and led to clashes with police that left at least nineteen people dead, and injured more than one hundred others.

Dominion News earlier reported that, Nepal’s government ordered authorities to block twenty-six social media platforms for not complying with a deadline to register with Nepal’s ministry of communication and information technology.

Following Nepal government’s move to ban the social media platforms, which includes Facebook and YouTube, protests erupted with thousands of young people storming parliament in the capital Kathmandu, leading to casualties. Meanwhile, several districts are now under a curfew.
