#102India is a very lucrative market for FB and other companies. 1 billion people, 2 billion eyes. No privacy laws, can easily share and sell data, govt is in the hands of Reliance (in which FB, Google and others are all investing a lot), most Indians are just getting used to the vast internet and are easily tricked.
How is government in the hands of Reliance? That's just a low denominator allegation unless you can furnish evidence.

#104For failure of legislation, judiciary, administration, media in India to protect minority, Facebook is not the primary actor. Indeed minorities failed to get support from top courts in India where habeas corpus (the most fundamental basic right of Freedom in Indian constitution) litigations are pending for over 1 year and constantly being postponed, and the topmost court is busy prosecuting a lawyer with urgency for…

Do you even understand what Hiter style means?

#105It is a strategically risky move for Facebook to take an active role in shaping India's political landscape. I imagine that the Indian population might object to American companies deciding what is and isn't appropriate to discuss.
Yes, and it doesn't go well. Twitter(India) was summoned by a parliamentary panel when a group accused them of being biased against right-wing accounts.

Would you please stop breaking the site guidelines like this? We've already asked you once recently. I don't want to ban you, but if you keep posting unsubstantive and/or political-battle-style comments, we're going to have to.

> I'll share a personal story …
And your point is ?
My grandmom managed to escape from Bangladesh violence, smuggled hidden amongst cattle.
I don't see how that justifies fascist and Hindu supremacist policies in India.
Treatment of Kashmiri pandits is a favorite talking point of the Hindu right. They are remarkably silent about other violent and forced population movement brought about by Hindus upon Hindus. Bengalis evicted violently from Assam did not spend time collectively moping about it but built their life somewhere else.

> stifling Facebook's right to decide what they want to allow on their platform. Is indian govt really proposing this though? who is stifling their right?
The comment I was responding to seemed to be proposing it. I don't know about India, but in the US, there's been a major debate about whether govt can force platforms to retain posts and several attempted lawsuits over it.
> The comment I was responding to seemed to be proposing it.
I don't think so. comment wasn't merely presenting its take on things not proposing govt should force fb to do something.

Indian population is brainwashed by the party with which FB sided How you ask? The media commonly called as Modi Media blames EVERYTHING on the opposing parties India is#1 in corona casesper day, who is to blame? Congress. Why? They are soreading fear! And now they've started using a suicide by a Film actor to stop corona news altogether. If you look at Hindi and English news they're focused on spreading conspiracies…
>Indian population is brainwashed by the party with which FB sided
Just because the Indian population has realized what rubbish the Indian Congress party, it's affiliates were ( basically a KGB satellite) doesn't mean they are brainwashed.
Just because Indian population doesn't like the game where all the money is for select few and rest are all poor ( communism) doesn't mean it's brainwashed.
Just because Indian population doesn't reward the those who refuse to condemn the ethnic cleansing of pagans/non monotheists doesn't mean it's brainwashed.
Just people you can label Indian population as brainwashed doesn't mean it is.
