India has 25x the population of Canada, Facebook has no reason to side with Canada over any political dispute. More so after the stupidity of demanding that Facebook pay Bell for linking to 'Bell's' content.

> India has 25x the population of Canada, Facebook has no reason to side with Canada To be super clear, if India actually assassinated a Canadian in Canada, this becomes relevant in America and Europe. (At best it means New Delhi has a rogue security element.) This is not an editorial decision by Facebook. It’s the mindless implementation of complex policies.

  Edited to remove misinformation. Sorry, I was misled by news articles about the individual's status in Canada which were published prior to the announcement earlier today that he became a citizen in 2015.

    Do you have a source for that? The reports I've read suggested he was a Canadian citizen, despite having his immigration applications rejected in the 90s.

Well Facebook earns more from Canada than India. So that is one reason.

Also importantly: Trudeau has yet to show evidence. This could easily be misinformation and disinformation. Trudeau is notorious for lying, dividing people, and "interpreting differently" things, especially when all the attention is on his crumbling regime and mismanagement of virtually everything in Canada. And it should raise everyone's flags that Trudeau, who has done everything possible to obstruct and derail the inquiry into Chinese election interference which likely put him in power - including saying that the information is classified - suddenly decides to share highly classified information from Canadian intelligence.

  To top it all off isn't Trudeau Fidel Castro's son?

  I’m no fan of Trudeau, but way to shoot the messenger. And ramble incoherently about conspiracy theories.

  The evidence is certainly classified and disclosure of details would probably result in unacceptable risk to Canadian and/or other Five Eyes intelligence assets. This is not a court of law, the Canadian government is not obliged to give up the identities of its sources. Trudeau briefed the leaders of the opposition ahead of the announcement and they are all offering a united front on this. That's enough for me to infer that the intelligence on this must be rock solid.

That’s so not how things work . Facebook is a US company first of all if anything it is only liable to US laws. It has stated that it’ll respect local laws as needed, so if India wants to remove posts it should be geo restricted in India not globally at all, not that banning posts is right to begin with. But this is not right.
