- raganwald 15y agoI kind of made this point a week ago, so sorry for repeating myself. If the ‘requests’ are ignored, India passes a law. If Google and Facebook ignore the law, then India follows the USA’s lead and arrests any Google and Facebook executives it can get its hands on, just as the USA arrests and prosecutes executives of online gaming organizations that are entirely operated outside of its physical borders but have US customers.

- JeremyBanks 15y agoDon't know why this was downvoted; it seems probable that Google would leave before the issue was escalated to the point of their executives being arrested.
