The corporate social media platforms:
"We will stand up for your right to free speech... as long as it is speech that we like... and as long as it does not hurt our bottom line... and..."
I'm attaching a story about Facebook, but any social media platform with substantial business in India is likely to engage in this bullshit.
I'm not surprised. If a multinational has interests in multiple countries, it is going to look at its bottom line and privilege the ideology of the most regressive country.
This is yet another reason why the fediverse is superior. If India wants to police the servers within its borders, they can have at it. They cannot touch the servers abroad.
