Given the toxic effect of social media in the region (Myanmar comes to mind), trying to force social media companies to have legal presence in the country seemed sensible. When the choice is a stream of inane fake news and viral sensationalist ragebait, or only government approved news.. I'm not entirely sure which is better? I'm guessing probably the latter. At least you know it's bullshit and your neighbors aren't trying to murder some minorities or shooting up ivermectin or whatever Hope Nepal comes out of this alright and more people don't get hurt. A collapse of the government (even a bad one) usually leads to nothing good.
