The Indian government is flexing it's muscles to control the internet and social media platforms. A prolonged internet shutdown near Delhi due to the farmers' protests and orders to Twitter to block accounts - all these actions speak of tougher government measures. All of this has been closely followed by organisations such as 'Access Now'. Where does India stand among other countries with regards to internet restrictions? Also, apart from shutdowns, what else should we as citizens worry about?
On this episode, host Sidharth Bhatia is joined by Raman Jit Singh Chima, Asia Pacific Policy Director and Senior International Counsel of Access Now - an international non-profit organisation working on human rights in the digital age. Sidharth talks to Raman Jit about why the Indian government is becoming so tough off-late on supressing internet access, why these actions have now backfired on the government with regards to international attention, why suppressing news or suppressing people's access to the internet usually doesn't help with the issue at hand, what we as citizens can do to combat this, and lots more. Tune in for an important eye-opening conversation.
