I like reddit. I want to use reddit.
It also has garbage like tiktok. Just like tiktok I use this app in my own way.
I use tiktok to watch beutiful places, funny videos, science stuff and other things. I use reddit in same way.
Its not the app. In reddit there is option for you to choose where to join and which community to hide. In tiktok also if you focus for first few scrolls to only watch nice things it would show you those. Its like a mirror to you. It was to me.
It has garbage too for garbage people. Just like that reddit also has all those things including the garbage. Reddit even has label of NSFL if you know where to look.
So tomorrow this app also could get banned. Maybe to prevent that stop posting negative things about government.

Aasti euta kunchai party ko keti le live ma boobs dekhayo bhanera hola.
To all those crying geopolitics and western puppet, I mean why would USA or Eu want Nepal to ban tiktok fully because it is allowed in their country (definitely not in gov servants and high ranking officials phones) so I just don’t understand their whole Bermuda triangle theory??
And yes there might be influence ftom india but gov is doing this because:( टिकटकबाट सामाजिक सद्भाव विथोलिने गरेको र नेपालको पारिवारिक संरचना, सामाजिक सम्बन्धलाई खलबल्याउने गरी लगातार प्रचारप्रसार भइरहेकोले तत्काललाई टिकटक बन्द गर्ने निर्णय गरिएको जनाइएको छ । )
This is the same way they ban the porn last time. SO, was banning porn was using Nepal as proxy by china against USA. Dont make a buzz out of it
The difference between tiktok and reddit is. You can subscribe to subreddits and you can choose to not see anything other than what you are subscribed to.
While in tiktok (and instagram which also now has reels like tiktok), you can’t choose. There is an algorithm that pushes things to you. Now I don’t know how much tiktok tries to control the rhetoric that is pushed but from many studies in social media like facebook and twitter, it shows this can cause confirmation bias and can lead to a bubble.
The main point of these social media is engagement and they will try to push you things that you will continue watching. So research shows that the algorithm can sometimes create bad result and cause people to be inside a “buble” where you’re only watching one side of story. This can lead and has lead to social and philosophical division. Since it’s a like and ratio based algorithm there is no content moderation. Some people can get into this bubble and be radicalized to the point of violence. You can also fall victim to misinformation.
Most social media are now having to answer to a governing body about the effects and how they are battling this. Facebook now meta’s platform was very influential in the ronghiya incident because of this “bubble’ formation. Also US election. US and EU are the major governing bodies who are holding trials for meta and google. Tiktok seems to be a wild card as it is owned by an entitiy which is “owned” by Chinese state and have a lot of control over it. Hence there is a general distrust in tiktok in many parts of the world.
I don’t know how much these bans encroach on freedom of speech. In US and some other country/organization, it is not allowed to install these apps (specially tiktok) in work phone. In US I think they outright tell government employees that they can’t use it.
Banning any social platform is bad for democracy
Geopolitics, War against china. It shows that, Nepal is in Western alies in this war. Nothing more than that. facebook, youtube and all other platform are also bad if we think that tiktok is bad. So it is just a geopolitics. Now the real face of MCC begins. Real face of Mawobadi begins.
Amid growing protests in Nepal advocating for the Palestinian people on TikTok, there are suggestions that the American embassy may have played a role in lobbying for the ban on TikTok in Nepal. This hints at the nuanced ways in which Western influence can impact smaller nations.
Nepal gov always does this easy shortcuts solution approach to the problem instead of doing proper research and try to control or atleast mitigate the problem through a systematic approach, they just ban the whole thing.
reels is just superior (cause of the brutally honest comments)
Maybe fyp will show what u recently watched through its algorithm but have you ever scrolled through live on tiktok to know whats going on and what these dumb nepalese are doing on live video? If u had then u will understand that it should have never been existed.
correct me if im wrong but i thought nepal gov was banning tt because a politician’s “sex tape” got released on there? (source: my cousin in nepal lmao)
Reddit is American propaganda. Tiktok is Chinese propaganda. You babies aren’t well versed on these things.
In tiktok every content reaches to every audience i think(i never used tiktok). Itro fucchi haru bato bato ma twerk gardai basiraxan budo budo uncle aunty haru lai kei kura ko laaj xaina.

The banning of TikTok in Nepal is a contentious issue, sparking debates about freedom of expression, digital governance, and cultural influence. On one hand, proponents argue that the ban serves to protect national interests, privacy, and cultural values. They emphasize concerns about data security, the potential negative impact on the younger generation, and the influence of foreign content on local cultures.
However, the ban also raises questions about the freedom of speech and the rights of individuals to access global platforms for self-expression. TikTok, despite its controversies, has been a medium for creativity, entrepreneurship, and community building for many. Banning it restricts access to a platform that has become an integral part of social interaction, entertainment, and even livelihoods for some.
In navigating this issue, it’s crucial to find a balance between protecting national interests and ensuring the freedom of expression and access to global platforms. Both sides of the argument have valid points, and a nuanced approach that addresses concerns about privacy, security, and cultural influence while upholding individual liberties could be a more holistic solution.
Regardless of where one stands on this issue, the debate highlights the complexities of governing the digital space in an increasingly interconnected world. It’s vital to consider the implications of such bans on individuals, businesses, and the larger societal fabric while also addressing valid concerns about data security and cultural preservation.
TikTok ban garera balla euta Mero distraction hatyo
एही त चाहन्छ चीन सारा सन्सार टिकटकमा क्रेजी होस र ढिलो चाडो ऐडिक्ट होस; चीन भने एही मौकामा सबैलाई उछिन्दै छ।
✋ तर फोनमा अहिले सम्म टिकटक नहालेको म मात्र हैनहोला है,
My experience with TikTok is that I get impulsive thoughts to grab my phone and open the app at the slightest chance I get and my attention span was getting worse. It’s like an addiction.
It has got nothing to do with what you are saying. It’s a pure political move. If what you were saying was the case they should have banned reels as well as shorts.

It is interesting to note that just last week during the Republican presidential debate in the US, the candidates did talk about banning TikTok specifically to counter Chinese influence. The ban of TikTok is justified to some extent considering its negative influence on todays youth. However there is a lot of fear mongering that the Chinese communist regime is using Tiktok to spy on Americans. Therefore, you can’t rule out anything.
Humans are good or bad.. things are just things, tools are just tools.
At present, TikTok is the only widespread media that the leaders cannot control – not even the US. Here is the situation:
United States: Can US ban TikTok outright pointing at the devil China? Hell no. The minute they ban it, it will face legal challenge and evoke first amendment issues. What do they do? Ban it in government issued phones.
Nepal: Prachanda and his cronies has had enough. TikTok has had done enough damage to their reputation which traditional news could not do in 10 years. They decided to ban it outright? And the timing is also perfect –In midst of long holidays.
What will happen, we don’t know. India can ban it showing national security issues. However in Nepal I think it won’t stand a chance in court against freedom guaranteed by constitution.
Some people are celebrating.. it’s not wise when it is an attack on freedom of speech.
All these Chapri Nibba Tik Tokkers here! Do you guys even understand why Tik Tok was a cancer to the society? And what are you guys blabbering on about DeMooCrassy and FreEdome in Nepal? Why don’t you little shits raise voice against real issues! Oh wait you can’t if you do the next thing you know you are in jail and getting butt fucked ( which i believe most of you will just love) Look my point is don’t make this an issue saying government is taking away your freedom and we should all be mad about fucking Tik tok getting banned! The government has taken a very very good decision in reality think about that. Tik Tok is truly a cancer to the society ( collectively) Its negatives way outweigh its positives.
Pretty sure, reddit post ko lagi manxe haru tori bhari khudi khudi hiddainan.
