      Telegram allowed. It does not e2e encrypt by default. How will they make sure that option isn’t chosen by Nepalese?

      All Nepal is asking for is registration so that there is a point of contact if there are any complaints. Telegram contacted Nepal after being banned.

      Others didn’t respond and deliberately have no contact details online.

      I tried to contact Reddit in Sydney about my ban but could only make them down to a multi-client large office building in Barangaroo.

      This isn’t necessarily a bad move on Nepal’s part.
