In fact, this behaviour has been repeated for years. As an another example, back in 2014 the Indian Government forced several ISPs here to restrict [Github and Pastebin](https://techcrunch.com/2014/12/31/indian-government-censorsht/) for the reason of "ISIS terrorists use these platforms to host extremist contents".

The government is already targeting [E2EE apps](https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/govt-proposes-law-to-intercept-encrypted-messages-on-whatsapp-signal-101663830524846.html) to have absolute control over what citizens are saying hence this ban is just a start.

And if you still believe on their narrative then answer me this, why is the government not allowing the citizens especially of Kashmir to have easier access of firearms? Why are they restricting the ability of the regular citizens to defend themselves and their families from the terrorists? Why are they keep making the citizens to rely on the centralized authority just for their safety? -;tags:software open-source rant +;tags:software open-source rant government-moment ;description:Democracy has nothing to do with freedom. |
