Protests are increasingly being policed not just with barricades and lathis, but with AI-powered surveillance. Facial recognition systems can identify, track, and profile people in public spaces, raising serious concerns for privacy, free expression, and the right to protest.
Watch the video to understand how these systems work, why they matter, and how you can document protests responsibly without putting others at risk.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
Let’s talk about privilege before bashing my opinion on reservations.The caste census will bring ground realities to light and show us exactly where we stand. It’s time to step out of the bubble, support the census, and fight for the welfare of all.

#Casteism In a government school in Lava Champa, Garhwa district of Jharkhand, a Dalit child was forced to clean toilet, a degrading and inhuman act.
This shameful incident starkly exposes the deep-rooted and continuing reality of caste-based discrimination.

The blocking of social media accounts citing Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act, 2000 is, in most if not all instances, being facilitated by the Sahyog Censorship Portal, first established through a MeitY Office Memorandum and subsequently formalised through amendments to the IT Rules, 2021 in Rule 3(1)(d). This portal is being provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs From our understanding and observed censorship trends, these Sahyog notices are being issued by at least 35 State Police Departments across the country who are, "nodal officers". See screenshot.
When a person's account is blocked, they typically receive inadequate information from the intermediary (Meta, Google, X), communications that merely cite Section 79(3)(b). X is not part of the Sahyog platform but is serviced through its own notification mechanism. Neither MeitY nor the police authority informs the user of the reasons for blocking, the date of the order, or the issuing authority. Hence, the first step for an affected party is therefore to write to MeitY and the intermediary requesting a copy of the order, since Rule 3(1)(d) of the IT Rules, 2021 imposes no confidentiality requirement. For the text of the rule, see screenshot.
Such requests are often refused, forcing affected users to approach a High Court first to obtain the order, and then, if it has been jurisdictionally issued in the same state where High Court proceedings are pending, to challenge it on merits. It is also unclear whether the review committees envisaged under Rule 3(1)(d) actually exist and their composition, contact details, and meeting dates are nowhere disclosed, leaving censored users without recourse.
This is a Kafkaesque system designed by MeitY and the MHA. It is the digital infrastructure of censorship under which users who criticise the government, comment on social and cultural issues, or opposition political parties are being silenced online.

अब भी वही पुरानी कहानी दोहराई जा रही,
लेकिन जानते हैं
सच्चाई कभी नहीं हारी। आवाज़ें ज़िंदा रहेंगी, लड़ेंगी, बोलेंगी,
क्योंकि आज़ादी की सांस को कोई नहीं रोक सकता।

.@narendramodi की तानाशाही के ख़िलाफ़ कुछ पागल युवाओं की फ़ौज खड़ी हो रही है।
ये युवा डरते नहीं है। एकदम सीधा सवाल दागते हैं। पूरा तंत्र जानता है कि इन्हें नहीं रोका गया तो ये कुर्सी खा जाएंगे।
इसी लिए इन आवाज़ों को दबाया जा रहा है।

My urgent message to Mr @narendramodi ji. Why are you still silent on today's killing of innocent 2 babies while sleeping with her mother in midnight with rockets by Kuki militants? Manipur is not a part of India? Manipur deserves justice now. No Justice, No Rest. 😢🙏
