Denial, justification, and appeal to “everyone else is doing it” are a lot less compelling when used in the same breath that when deployed separately.
“Uighur detention camps don’t exist and also aren’t that bad.”
- techie128 8y agoNothing in my post was even close to "Denial" or that everyone else is doing it. I was pointing out that my western counterparts are barking up the wrong tree when their own government is guilty of mass surveillance on not just their own people but everyone on this planet while India has stronger protections that have been held up in court. People in glass houses should not be pelting stones.
- dirkgently 8y agoYour Western counterparts also complain when Western government does this. You have a really huge chip on those shoulders.
- manquer 8y agowhile i don't agree with OP about it being politically motivated around the current government. Most of what he says is true. There is no new law, there are other draconian laws like POTA, TADA, Sedition Act and AFSPA in place which give the Government already enormous power which they don't hesitate to use. The current government and many past ones do certainly abuse such powers nothing new expect it is spilling over digital domain more than ever before.
