Nepalis fight TikTok ban in court, or ignore it entirely
==========

Nepalis are fighting against the ban on TikTok in court or ignoring it by accessing the platform through virtual private networks (VPNs). Lawyer Sunil Rajan Singh is leading a legal challenge to the ban, arguing that it violates freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by Nepal's constitution. The ban was imposed last year by Nepal's communications minister, who accused TikTok of spreading content that damaged the country's social harmony. The ban has affected popular TikTok accounts and the livelihoods of content creators and advertisers, with the market estimated to be worth $5 million annually. The case is currently before the Supreme Court, with a decision expected later this year.
