Here we go again. India wants to force VPN providers to establish local offices and designate compliance officers, even threatening prison terms for local employees for non-compliance.
Not sure how authorithies could enforce this, though, considering that major providers already removed their physical servers from the country in 2022. Will VPN censorship be the last resort?

Do you think that a ban is the right way to protect children online? And if not a ban, what then?
