The expectation that a corporation operating in India will not obey Indian laws but American ones is appalling. EU, Canada, China, Turkey or North Korea - if you want to do business there you have to respect their laws. “For profit US corporation fighting foreign government atrocities” is a deeply flawed idea. If Indians believe that they need wider free speech rights or other protections, they need to change their p…

“For profit US corporation fighting foreign government atrocities” I think that's a bit of an unfair phrasing. How about "Good people upholding their morals instead of dropping them at the door when they go to work" I really am not a fan of how far we've taken the general image that 'business is business' and a bunch of regular morals are OK to toss out. We should preserve the social stigma we hold against people equ…
No. The U.S. 300 million citizen don’t have the monopoly on morals when 1 billion Indians have a different idea about them. So don’t be pretentious, adapt to local laws and let people figure out their own ideas about life. Maybe, just maybe, the U.S. has the wrong laws.

> Does the part where Hunter explained that the long-standing arrangement was for Joe to get half of the loot ring a bell? Again, it doesn't matter? Joe ultimately decided remove the corrupt prosecutor that was helping Burisma. He fucked over Burisma, and their "investment" into Hunter. Burisma may have tried to pull some nepotism by hiring Hunter, Joe ultimately said "no thanks, Jack", and fucked over Hunter. So the…
> Hunter's laptop were so obviously hacked It wasn't hacked, that crackhead left his laptop in a repair shop and just forgot about it. > Joe Biden doesn't take bribes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_xXx0yUvSw
This story is deranged and the fact that you believe it with 0 critical thinking really makes me doubt that you are looking at this whole situation critically. It's strangely suspicious that all the leaked documents clearly point to signs it was an iCloud hack (a la the fappening) instead of a laptop dump.
But fine, lets say it's true.

Again, what does this have to do with Hunter? The description is wrong, Wikipedia has an explanation of this[1].
Viktor Shokin was not properly investigating Burisma. Biden fired the prosecutor. This fucked over Burisma who was paying Hunter. As a result Joe Biden didn't personally benefit from Burisma.
What did Joe Biden do wrong here? He clearly acted against the "corrupt" wishes of Hunter. Please articulate with words instead of linking YouTube videos.

Does Apple require any kind of authentication whenever you want to access it from a device that's tied to the same account? I don't use any of the Apple products, so I wouldn't know, but I do still have my old Google account lying around and if you'd have my laptop then you could probably access it without much of a hassle.
Few of the tweets removed are detailed here https://www.opindia.com/2021/04/covid-pandemic-hoax-to-shari... Ps : the usual propaganda site or govt mouthpiece claims are bound to come out now. Read the article and make up your mind
This article is an odd choice, though, it's a site that claims to present the "marginalised" Hindu nationalist viewpoint. Very hard to take it seriously.

No, just picked and chose the ones that made their point well. The point of this kind of publication isn't to tell lies, just selective truths that push an agenda.

>skewed interpretation of a British Era law for which the Indian government is twisting the definition of treason. There you have it. It’s not up to the companies to police, enforce or interpret laws. That’s the states job and if that’s how they interpret it then that’s how the law is. There are other tools to change laws or interpretations.
Last time I checked, it's the court's job to interpret laws, not the legislature's. And from recent past precedent, we know that the courts haven't interpreted the sedition law the way the government has, yet the Modi government does not give a rats ass and continues to trample over them.
Sure, court of whatever justice system they have in place but definitely not a corporation. If people don't like the way Modi runs the country, including the justice system, they will need to take him down and install someone who will do it the way they prefer. It's unreasonable to expect that a foreign for profit corporation will do it for them.
What happens if the twitter shareholders replace the current CEO and put someone who is willing to do anything for profit and the most profitable way forward is to work with Modi? Will Indians expect Facebook to step in and save them?

In what way is Twitter a communist organization? What do you mean by “communist” here?
It's not hard to see, it's just currently under the guise of supporting the Democratic political party.

The vast majority of Indians approve of Modi's premiership. Everyone is aware that it's an authoritarian regime, they don't mind. He has complete control over the courts, so I don't see how a trial could accomplish anything other than further cement his regime.
Ah "the government that I don't like is authoritarian" logic. This government originally asked everyone to impose self lockdowns before real lockdowns became necessary. Surely what an authoritarian government would do.
