There 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.

Why should they run positive coverage? Their job is to tell the truth, and if a leader is bad then they should say so.

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.

I think they would fail to meet that 90-95% threshold, as India just can't be as physically restrictive as China or Russia. Circumvention measures would proliferate like crazy.

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
Actually that's what BJP thinks. Whenever anyone says anything against them, they are termed as a 'Conspiracy against the nation' or 'anti-national'. It is BJP who thinks they are right and everyone else is wrong, not the other way round :)

When will it be available legally in the U.S.?
I wonder what's holding the release in the US?

Same reason why any other foreign website is allowed in India or why other countries watch Bollywood movies. Globalization is a win-win for everyone. No country in the world is self-sustaining.
