@freepatriot the free internet's over, sorry. It's not going to happen immediately but any time anything happens the first thing a government zombie frets about is the idea that foreign actors are spreading misinformation about it.
Or more pressingly, the Nepal's leaders and family got lynched and murdered by mobs due to
1. a foreign campaign highlighting economic equality
2. a failure to halt that campaign due to non-compliance by foreign social media
3. a social media ban that pissed everyone off and still failed to interfere with continued coordination by foreign NGOs
So every single government populated by shrinking cowards who certainly don't get want to get lynched (which is all of them with few exceptions) is thinking about this and all directions are a more closed internet.
BTW, the government also let people buy gold and then physically confiscated all the gold once.
