Now that the plan is out in the open that Google has an active development project that censors the web with trivial government input, India will try to shoehorn Google into putting this into production with Indian populace. It will lead to degradation of democracy, while Google should be doing opposite since they bring the whole web to the user. Honestly, very very disconcerting from Google. Indian democracy is already fickle and project like this will accelerate the process even further. Also, minorities will be threatened even more since their vernacular is not on Google and English media news is not consumed by them. They live on local language news mainly, and they remain aloof from bigger machinations of the government against them. Absolutely appalling thinking about the future with this in use because India won't be able to push this project right now, but who knows what will happen when they are $5 Trillion economy 10-15 years from now. How come Sundar Pichai having an Indian background, didn't think about this aspect? Googlers please think about this one, and not endanger minorities because English language media in India is already biased and pushes officially sanctioned lines a lot, especially when it comes to minorities. Don't murder them please.
