> This isn’t a political takedown request. On the basis of that categorization it is. The reason sites generally comply with copyright takedowns worldwide is that most relevant countries have copyright laws and it's often more expedient to execute the takedowns everywhere than to hire lawyers to figure out where they have to do it and where they don't. In particular, that isn't a court in India ordering Wikipedia to do something in the US, it's Wikipedia in the US assuming that the US would require them to do the same thing and getting ahead of it. Suppressing discussion of active court cases isn't commonly agreed upon. For example, in the US prohibiting it would have obvious First Amendment problems. So a court in India ordering Wikipedia to do that in the US is a big deal.
