Context: The day this happened was the inauguration of new Parliament building of India.
Why is that relevant? People should not get arrested for protesting sexual harassment, even if others are inaugurating a new Taj Mahal.
India slowly joining China, Russia and Turkey as a dictatorship...

This is how BJP government uses public money to run troll campaigns on social media against opposition leaders. [1]
Possibly hundreds or thousands of persons or "journalists" are getting funds from government to abuse the opposition leaders.

Just the beginning, what happens when it becomes impossible to parse fact and fiction? I mean rsa 2048 can be currently broken in 104 days, and we'll be at quantum levels sooner than we realize. How we validating anything after that? Biometric?

That is getting real freaking dystopian. Sure, we would have been able to do this before, and the Soviet Union did a ton of photo editing. But doing this particular edit must have been so easy. No cost at all, no mental barrier. You would almost think 'why bother'. And before anyone says 'yeah, but the truth came out'. Well, we saw it, but how many of the particular audience of whatever that outlet was will never see…
BJP is proper Authoritarian. This is coming from a right leaning person.

How do you compete with a government that will distort reality like this, where the majority of people won’t listen to the actual truth?
