Resolve Meta Registration Impasse

The Government of Nepal has requested social media operators such as Meta, time and again to get registered in Nepal to operate their platforms. But they have not paid any attention to such requests. The government issued a notice to the social media operators concerned on March 21, 2025, requesting them to get registered by April 20, 2025. During the period, no applications from Meta and other social media operators came forward for registration. The notice was renewed for one more week. As they refused to register their media by the deadline, the government is in a quandary as to what to do.
