The top duo in Indian govt Modi n shah are wannabe fascists dictators. They want complete control and power. Their opposition party has also become quite lame.

If you read the article, this was started by the previous government. And Congress or any other political party for that matter have no problems with censorship and spying. All the political parties, including BJP are in the same boat.

Yeah, everything bad was started by the Congress, and BJP had to toe this line helplessly. And everything good was begun in 2014

I really hope hope they retain power for years.

They have a huge population like China, they can see what works and doesn’t work in China. And they clearly understand the power of unregulated internet to adversaries.

Are you justifying the Internet censorship? What adversaries benefit from porn sites?

No but I understand why a country would like to control the content of it’s internet. See Qanon, and disinformation posts.

Something I've worried about for a long time - China, India, even the US are proving the efficacy of surveillance technology, even with a massive population. It's a matter of time until this tech starts getting widely exported to traditionally "democratic" territories. Being an autocrat is easier than it's ever been. We already see fascist governments popping up all over the world.

UK should always be in that list as well.

Don't know why people don't talk about surveillance in the UK anymore.

First time I’ve heard someone say this, and I want to know more. Do you have any good articles/studies about it that you can share?
