The entire Indian subcontinent is currently struggling with the transition to a state of the world where citizens communicate freely and frequently without going through an organization controlled directly by the government.
Bangladesh, for example, has banned Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and a bunch of other services for the last two weeks in order to prevent extremist responses to a couple of very touchy executions. The telecommunications ministry has reached out to "the Facebook authorities" and the US State Department in order to "make a deal"...but the way they've gone about doing so feeds into the narrative that the they have no idea what they are doing.
They'll learn to be effectively evil in time, I guess.
- secfirstmd 11y agoVery true, we just launched an open source mobile app to help users manage digital and physical security (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.umbrella&hl=en_GB https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.secfirst.u...) and from the little that we know (Google Play Store unfortunately keeps data on countries of download) India seems to be one of the places where we are seeing most new users. I guess it makes sense with the nature of the current government and also the crack down on media and NGOs.
