There’s little one can do if some in the country are hell bent on putting their heads in sands like an ostrich. Doesn’t change the truth, unfortunately.
As for Al Jazeera and other channels you mentioned, they can be watched online – unlike the Modi documentary.
Well, it is an object fact though — isn't it? Twitter is an order of magnitude smaller than Meta, and Facebook / Meta / Zuckerberg have been fined and trialled an order of magnitude more times than twitter for its deeds. Whistleblowers have presented an order of magnitude more documentation and proof for Facebook's shady practices. It is only fair that it is discussed an order of magnitude more times than Twitter.
Just because you want the two to be "equally bad" doesn't make it so, and bringing up Y when the topic is X in this case is the textbook definition of whataboutery.
Being the vaccine manufacturing hub of the world since a few decades, if India did not manufacture its own vaccines it would be a shock. I don’t think that’s something unusual – if anything failure to scale up vaccine manufacturing that led to a deadly second wave is to be considered an abject failure.
I don’t get this Whataboutery? The news story and the article is about Meta - why bring Twitter or any other media into discussion, unless you want to distract from the topic at hand.
I think you should speak for yourself instead of for all Indians. You believing or not believing something has little effect on facts. Bullying everyone into believing your unquestioned love for the present day government is rather disenginious.
It's not about your laws vs my laws — I think we can objectively judge what sort of protections make sense for someone who doesn't necessarily agree with the government of the day, without going into defensive nationalism.
Sure, again, context matters. A lot of Delhi, and probably a lot more of Mumbai is just illegal construction, if you were to apply the law squarely, a large part of the cities would be rubble.
You're (perhaps rather knowingly) ignoring the nuance here.
This assumes people vote on election manifestos, which is far from the truth, at least in India.
How many people who voted for the current government do you think would know what NRC meant when they voted? Infact, does the general mass understand it even to date?
This is especially disappointing considering the time, legal and administrative effort and money will be spent on trialing and detention of alleged non-citizens.
For a government which has attained a historical majority for the second time, just imagine the impact they can have if they focussed this energy on improving economic and human-life indicators instead. India still ranks 103 on the world hunger index, even below its less developed neighbour – Pakistan.
I hope they don't squander this majority away, but I fear they will.
TLDR;
A gas supply utility, Indane, provided an un
-authenticated, non-rate limited API proxy to the authenticated Aadhar API, allowing anyone to make more than a thousand requests a minute to fetch personal information, by just iterating through the Aadhar numbers.
Not to mention the numerous results from Google SketchUp and Autodesk SketchBook that popup when you're searching for "sketch <help-me-with-something>"
As someone who has developed for mobile web, it can be surprisingly hard to push back on bloat from marketing / seo / analytics teams. I hope this becomes a W3C standard so us developers can show them the finger the next time they want to bring mobile web to a crawl.
We could all use a little drama to support our points here.
