0:00Over the last uh 5 years, the Indian

0:02government has built uh what I call the

0:05infrastructure for censorship and

0:07they've created a criminal liability uh

0:10for social media platforms. Uh in that

0:12an employee of let's say a company like

0:15Facebook or Twitter can be sent to jail

0:17if they don't comply with orders from

0:18the Indian government. Following the

0:20protests, Delhi police filed charges

0:22over social media posts they deemed

0:24derogatory, malicious and defamatory,

0:27demanding that platforms take them down

0:29as well as providing the information of

0:31the users. And police used AI powered

0:34facial recognition software to identify

0:36protesters.

0:37>> Some of the protesters are still in

0:38jail. I think the legacy of uh the

0:42cockroach party protests is going to be

0:44that it's going to lead to the the

0:47strengthening of censorship laws in

0:49India.

0:50>> And this isn't exactly new in Indian

0:52politics.

0:52>> Uh every government tries to censor

0:54social media in India. Every government

0:56tries to suppress uh criticism uh and

0:59and the media in India.

1:01>> The question is how much further will

1:03Mod's government go to censor its people

1:05and restrict free speech? And they're

1:07going to try and evolve mechanisms to

1:10try and ensure that this never happens

1:12again.
