Social media companies are in a tough spot when nations like India use their laws to force them to take down content, EFF’s @cmcsherr told @CBCNews. If they want to provide any service in such places, they may have to abide by laws with which they disagree. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/india-fifth-estate-video-story-1.7142721

@eff @cmcsherr @CBCNews India, this country is a totally fu*ked up state of mind. 🤦‍♀️

@eff @cmcsherr @CBCNews Simple, do not comply. Remove any employees from any country other than the US and Switzerland, put up a darkweb site on Tor, I2P and Lokinet etc along with a strict nondiscrimination policy with trustworthy VPNs such as Mullvad, IVPN, ProtonVPN, Psiphon, Guardian VPN/Brave VPN, Opera VPN/proxy and CloudFlare Warp.

At some point people will accept that capitalists are going to take care of their capital; anything else, including the air we breathe and the water drink, is up for sale to protect the hoard.

@eff @cmcsherr @CBCNews If the US can ban TikTok,india has the same right to force or ban social media like YouTube, Meta as their nations interest.People from other countries should not worry about it.

@eff @cmcsherr @CBCNews in the would it be better or worse? In a scenario the company might push back on an individual basis, but in a fediverse situation only some hosts might be allowed to operate and all would be forced to comply at a broader level.

Sure VPN and Onion networks might evade the laws, but are those not still minority technologies that most users ignore?

As the internet ages, it seems to be fracturing.

So what would happen if the USA made it illegal to coverup extrajudicial killings by foreign states?
