Of 187 internet shutdowns recorded worldwide, 84 took place in India, according to the report

India imposed the highest number of internet shutdowns globally in 2022, a new report has revealed, in what critics say is yet another blow to the country’s commitment to freedom of speech and access to information. published Tuesday by Access Now, a New York based advocacy group that tracks internet freedom. This is the fifth consecutive year the world’s largest democracy of more than 1.

But critics of the government were not convinced, instead calling the raids “a clear cut case of vendetta” and accused the BJP of intimidating the media. Last week, police in New Delhi arrested a senior opposition politician for allegedly “disturbing harmony” after he misstated the Prime Minister’s middle name, a move Modi’s critics likened to “dictatorial behavior.

Why? I think they basically do that to immediately stop the effect of organized crime or like a smoke bomb for people operating in groups. imo indians know nothing more than whatsapp. that doesn't make any sense, internet records financial data and everything.

Reports say India's internet simply lacks the routers, fiber optic links and servers needed to expand access. Few public Wi-Fi spots exist, and broadband connections with faster speeds require infrastructure that is rarely found in urban low-income areas, much less rural ones.

Most populous country in the world will obviously have more proplem than vatican

And bcz of India is a business hub and is following Hitler's school of thoughts, no one from so called civilized states bring it to ask it's violations

Women's liberation,is it more to do controlling men in lower classes than freeing woman.Ultimately women's liberation is propagated and controlled by politically powerful men.Example,the freedom of women to appear in porn causes male addition of porn.

Good

Shuuuuuu the emperor won’t be happy to hear facts

CNN in the USA is the voice of the Democrat party, they would never speak about loss of freedoms such as state controlled internet, but rather advocate for it.
