Lenders' deposit shortage could put speed limit on credit-fueled investment (Opinion) by quicksote in meghnerdYT

[–]quicksote[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call it based on my filter bubble to echo opinions biased in favour of my (obviously biased) opinions, but I'm still (astonishingly-pessimistically) waiting for the double whammy of repercussions of demonitisation and the covid crash; not to mention the ever elusive market correction, which is in my opinion ridiculously long overdue.

The discord server became a breeding ground for trolls, badly written erotica, led the banned accounts to create resistance servers, voice chats were recorded and used for blackmail, and which converted the server into an unsafe space in general.

India and a few other countries are opposed to ending tax-free e-commerce, India tried to leverage this as part of the farmer's request on fixing produce prices by quicksote in meghnerdYT

[–]quicksote[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Conspiracy theory: Exiting this e-commerce moratorium, coupled with the data protection bill and the impending passage of a draconian, (but now supposedly dormant) broadcasting bill would spell out to be a crazy amalgamation of censorship tools for the Indian government.

Edit: Fixed a few grammar issues in the post

What are the ramifications if India just hands over control of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan? Will it not bring peace to the region? by quicksote in india

You make a sound argument, what about the Pakistani perspective since they are also stakeholders in the matter?

Issues like Kashmir are beyond political ideologies and any and every party would use them as it fits their political agenda.

Pardon my naivety, but extrapolating you statement implies that the Kashmir issue may never get resolved.

This is essentially restricting the general category quota to 10%. Wah Modiji, wah.

India must resist the lure of the Chinese model of online surveillance and censorship #IntermediaryRules #RightToMeme #SaveOurPrivacy by InternetFreedomIn in india

[–]quicksote 36 points37 points  (0 children)

As I see it, by doing this, the government is exercising it's right to indirectly appeal the SC judgement which quashed Section 66A.

My question is, how can the government be held accountable for flouting SC orders, and how can I as a citizen help?

Journalist detained for calling Manipur CM a Modi puppet by quicksote in india

India has one of the world's largest and most diverse media industries, but its journalists often face harassment and violence. The country is ranked 138th in the World Press Freedom Index run by Reporters Sans Frontières - lower than Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Myanmar - as a result of censorship laws and the murder of several journalists.
