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 read the article. The article doesn’t mention “vulgar language being illegal”. I’m from Nepal and I’m going to ask where people come up with made up scenarios.
The new rule also bars any post promoting wrong activities such as child labour, human trafficking, child marriage or polygamy.
so for nepal human trafficking and polygamy is in the same category of “wrong activities”.
What do you mean its not the point? its literally a crime to post “vulgar” language, like you said a catch all term that they can use to censor anything they deem “vulgar”. How is this not a law designed to censor?
For clarity, I am not the person you replied to, I wrote the comment above. Imo Usernames are a bit hard to see on some frontends!

um… where did you get that information?
How about you read the one link you are commenting on before asking for another? It is in the article.
