“Meta took money to push specific content”
Yes, that’s called paid ads, dumb asses!
What kinda people do we have in media and this government?
Embarrassing
It’s like saying “Honda took money to move protestors to the protest site” (They sold people the vehicle)
@amitkilhor What a shameful and stupid move by Indian government.
They just want to control it like their mainstream Godi media.
Modi government wants to decide what can be posted and what cannot be posted and what will get removed.
Golbal embarrassment for India
Meta senior executives treated as criminals just because a video was removed accidentally (which was reinstated instantly).
If Meta leaves India, know that this was the reason.
Modi won’t have any issues because he’d much prefer an Indian app that he can fully control the narrative on. Just like China.
@IndianGems_ Zuck should file a lawsuit against Modi government and let the supreme court decide.
Let the whole world know how this governs is behaving.

Modi government is going after Meta.
Trying to show them who the boss is by threatening them.
What a stupid move.
And all over a video deleted that was instantly restored?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bombay HC has asked to take down all content on social media platforms, including AI content allegedly defaming Union Minister Nitin Gadkari related to the ethanol-blended petrol.

REPOST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! 🇮🇳
🇮🇳The brutality and propaganda tactics of the Modi government and Delhi Police know no limits. Here is a list of everything they have done so far to crack down on the student protest.
- Using facial recognition systems to identify protesters in real time and to trace protesters after they return home
- Threatening students with passport cancellation and the loss of their right to travel abroad
- Blocking people from bringing water into the protest area
- Cutting off mobile internet around Jantar Mantar to disrupt communication and prevent live documentation
- Visiting and threatening the homes of people supplying water to protesters
- Restricting food supplies from reaching the protest site
- Blocking Zomato and Swiggy deliveries inside the protest zone
- Pressuring nearby restaurants and shops to stop accepting food orders for protesters
- Stopping delivery riders on the road and confiscating food meant for protesters
- Firing tear gas into protest crowds
- Using water cannons against students
- Using shock batons and stun guns against protesters
- Using lathis fitted with nails or metal spikes
- Using pellet guns that are causing facial, neck, body, and eye injuries
- Beating minors, seated students, and apparently nonviolent protesters
- Continuing to deny pellet gun use despite injured protesters, journalists, and medical documentation
- Bringing in a truck loaded with stones to remain near the protest area before the major march (allegedly)
- Bringing already damaged car to the protest site to create a narrative (allegedly)
- Inserting plainclothes personnel, goons, or provocateurs into the crowd
- Creating or allowing violent incidents that can be used to justify a harsher crackdown
- Using isolated incidents of violence to portray the entire student movement as dangerous
- Making Delhi University and JNU issue warnings asking students and faculty to stay away from Jantar Mantar
- Having Delhi University warn students that participation could damage their academic progress and professional opportunities
- Pressuring IIT Roorkee students to avoid the protest through warnings about academic consequences
- Pressuring IIT Madras students to remove protest related videos
- Using universities and academic institutions to force students into self censorship
- Pressuring coaching centres and educational networks to distance toppers and serious aspirants from the movement
- Trying to create the impression that genuine and meritorious students reject the protest
- Restricting or blocking the official CJP Instagram account in India
- Restricting accounts that are sharing raw protest footage
- Creating fear around posting videos, joining groups, or publicly supporting protesters
- Flooding the media with claims that the protest is Pakistan sponsored
- Labelling the movement ISI backed, Chinese linked, foreign funded, Soros controlled, deep state driven, and anti national
- Shifting attention away from NEET paper leaks, government failure, and demands for accountability
- Using national security propaganda to justify force, surveillance, detentions, and restrictions
- Using government aligned media to portray protesting students as enemies of the country
- Coordinating influencers and content creators to publish identical anti protest narratives
- Manufacturing fake public consensus through repeated captions and talking points
- Releasing official denials while videos, medical reports, screenshots, and witness accounts continue appearing
- Calling evidence and eyewitness accounts misinformation instead of allowing an independent investigation
- Closing shops around Connaught Place and nearby protest areas
- Shutting down or restricting Metro stations including Rajiv Chowk and Patel Chowk
- Stopping students travelling by autos and rickshaws before they reach the protest
- Picking up students while they are travelling to or returning from Jantar Mantar
- Detaining students without clearly stating what offence they have committed
- Collecting faces, names, fingerprints, phone data, and personal information for later action
- Visiting homes and picking up students from their residences
- Filing FIRs against unidentified people so individual names can be added later
- Keeping FIRs open as long term leverage against students and young professionals
- Threatening students with visa problems and difficulties pursuing education overseas
- Threatening students with failed police verification for government and private jobs
- Threatening students with blacklisting and permanent career damage
- Threatening students with preventive detention under the NSA (Upto 12 months with no bail)
- Using the renewal of NSA powers to create fear while claiming the timing is unrelated to the protest
- Deploying Delhi Police, RAF, CRPF, ITBP, and other paramilitary forces against students
- Bringing forces normally associated with borders and national security into central Delhi
- Moving twenty additional CRPF companies from West Bengal
- Turning central Delhi into a heavily barricaded security zone
- Carrying out heavy lathi charges against protesters
The whole playbook is now out. #cjp #JantarManatar
