A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And just like that, India got a bunch of shady business/tourism. I doubt it was an accidental or unintentional decision.
Well, that's disappointing...
India has been taken over by backwards-ass right wing religious fundamentalists.
India "became the world leader in internet blackouts", straight up government control. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/25/a-tool-of-political-control-how-india-became-the-world-leader-in-internet-blackouts?
Horrific violence covered up in Manipur on the minority christian community. The country is sliding into some barbaric behavior. https://www.wired.com/story/internet-shutdown-manipur-burning-in-the-dark/
Since May 4, the Indian government has shut off the internet in Manipur, giving cover to murders, rapes, and arson.

Maybe some of the worst kinds of sex offenders in America will see this article and move to India. I feel bad for people who accidentally click on something bad, but I have no pity for people who go looking for those types of images and whatnot, online. As far as I’m concerned, some foreign country, like India, can have them.
If it’s online then anyone can access it
However it’s terrible for the kids in any country
I totally agree. I feel bad for the children.
Won't somebody think of the powerful?

weird how fascists consistently do this shit. Or maybe its not given how often they like to exert power over people who they see as lessers.
Madras High Court Judge N. Anand Venkatesh also noted that it was “done in privacy without affecting or influencing anyone else.”
ummm, how about the child sexual abuse victim? bad enough the misogyny and oppression of women's rights that comes with right wing religion everywhere, RSS/BJP certainly playing their part. the child dude, think of the child.
Literally the one case where "think of the children" would be applicable, and of fucking course they don't even mention it then.
oh dear, i guess they didn't get the memo...
