Indian Government orders censoring of accounts on X (x.com)

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees. The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users.

…

X is exploring all possible legal avenues available to the company. Unlike users located in India, X is restricted by Indian law in its ability to bring legal challenges against these executive orders. However, we encourage all users who are impacted by these blocking orders to seek appropriate relief from the courts.

You put “freedom” in your name and you think WE are politically captured? You guys are ridiculous.

Randomly generated username my friend :)

Also Lemmy as a whole is absolutely politically captured. One read of these comments shows that. Also hilariously Lemmy was literally made by hardcore communist ideologists, and they still own and develop it. Right from day 1 it was politically captured, and the influx of far left users and the extreme censorship and hatred of anything even right of far-left hasn’t changed.

Are you seriously trying to convince me “Freedomadvocate” was randomly assigned to you? Seriously?

Nobody believes you. Keep your lies small, simple, plausible and easy to remember. You are failing on the plausible part.

Randomly generated. Go to Google and type randomly generated username and have at it.

Keep your conspiracy theories plausible. You’re failing.

I understand what it means. I just don't believe you.

And I don’t care :)

Lemmy is just one front end. Nobody is forcing you to use it.

There are mbin servers

The underlying technology I am talking about.

ActivityPub protocol is a separate from Lemmy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub

It is not developed by the same people. And developers of activitypub are not tankies.
