Social Media Shutdown in Nepal: Facebook, YouTube, and 25 Others Blocked

-

 

Following a Supreme Court directive requiring all domestic and foreign online platforms to register with authorities before operating in Nepal, with the goal of monitoring and controlling unwanted content, Nepal banned Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and 23 other major social media platforms after they failed to do so within the allotted time. Companies were given seven days to comply by registering with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, which included appointing local contacts and grievance handlers. However, none of the major platforms, including Meta's Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Alphabet's YouTube, X, Reddit, and LinkedIn, registered, and the ban was imposed by the Nepal Telecommunications Authority starting at midnight on September 4-5, 2025.

  What happens when a diode of bridge rectifier broken down ? When a diode in a bridge rectifier breaks down, it can cause a number of issues depending on the specific circumstances. Here are a few possible scenarios: Short-circuiting: If the diode fails in a short-circuit mode, it can cause a direct short-circuit across the input AC supply, which can lead to excessive current flow and potential damage to other components in the circuit. Open-circuiting: If the diode fails in an open-circuit mode, it will not conduct any current in the circuit. This can result in a reduced output voltage or a complete loss of output voltage from the rectifier circuit. Overheating: If the diode fails due to overvoltage or overcurrent, it can heat up and potentially cause damage to other components in the circuit. This can be particularly problematic in high-power applications where the diodes are exposed to significant amounts of current and voltage. Uneven output voltage: If one diode in the bridge...
