The BBC are banned in China, Russia and have had many temporary bans in the past in India (70s), Myanmar, Rwanda, Zimbabwe etc. This is nothing new, the BBC think it is right and every other foreign country is wrong lOL

They are trying to increase their reader base. Negative coverage of those countries won't get them many readers as BBC is straight up banned in China and other countries don't have a significant population. In India negative coverage runs wild and gets them more viewers.

#16There was a great post from a VPN provider about how they've honed circumvention tactics in China for years, and that whatever Russia was doing post-Ukraine was just primitive in comparison. If India really tries to go down the internet censorship rabbit hole, its probably not gonna go well, as they are decades behind more seasoned despotic regimes.
Is that significant, though? These nations aren't trying to keep things secret. They just have to keep them out of the day to day thoughts of 95% of their population. Even trivial measures like a DNS-redirect will be effective in that regard.

So, BBC getting banned is an indication China, Russia, Myanmar, Rwanda & Zimbabwe are right?

> BBC seems to have taken up a role as the anti-Modi network Could you point to prominent sources making this claim? > if it was also aimed at China The BBC created diplomatic chaos between Downing Street and Beijing with their Xinjiang coverage [1][2]. I'm not sure why you think their coverage of Russia or Pakistan has been any less scathing. > pointing to something Modi-positive they've ever run See the BBC's cover…
[3] and [4[ are the same. Even have the same URL.
And you didn't mention any of those other countries I named. Apparently it's too hard to them to write about them, or else "brutal oppression" isn't news to their viewers.

If they’re the best examples you have, all that does is further convince me that the BBC World Service is in fact the premiere reporting outfit in the world.
None of those are governments that right-thinking people have any truck with, and all have a marked history of suppressing inconvenient truth.
In other words, the BBC World Service usually _is_ right.
