We are rank 157 on Press Freedom Index and I think we deserve it.

Congratulations guys, first in my bloodline to see India be rank 1 in suppressing verified journalists!!!
I do suggest you read the whole link, India is 5th in number of requests to suppress posts on X.
But if you dive deeper you would see the kind of posts restricted, Japan is number 1, but they suppress posts regarding financial crime the most, Russia I was surprised actually suppresses mostly self harm related content.
India suppresses URLs the most, no one should visit the CJP website I guess 🤣.
If you look at journalist requests suppressed and the rank in total requests, one could infer that news and reality is being suppressed, but I’d rather not get there.
In other news, meta was threatened by the govt of losing its protection and being legally liable for User generated content on their platforms. In any free system, this would be a clear case of blackmail, but I guess this is what we call digital vishwaguru.
If you’re gonna comment, Japan is number 1 without reading body text, I’ll reply with “Chota bandar ka chota Angoor”
