India/Hindus have ONE USCIRF commissioner on our side. You may not expect it, but he is the Reverend Jonny Moore (confirmed from well-placed sources).
He has tweeted in support of Hindus and against calls for Hindu Genocide by maulvis of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Hinduphobes are howling in fury at the stand he has taken.

IF YOU ARE ON TWITTER, PLEASE SUPPORT HIM BY AMPLIFYING HIS TWEET (RETWEETING AND LIKING). At least the allies we have, we should turn out en masse and back them to the hilt.
it would be easier if we could get some big handle like AR or Shefali vaidya to support him, in past i have seen him getting RT by Rahul Roshan.LokeshC wrote:Folks,
I have been on lurk mode forever, but I have some important news. Shiv saar has been suspended from Teetar. His id is @bennedose.
I think we should at least show some protest and try to get his handle activated again.
I am trying to reach him offline and will update back here with more details.
Did they give any reasons? to Shiv or it is just one of those things they periodically do to some handles? Harpreet is being shadow-banned, AFAIK.LokeshC wrote:Folks,

30 minutes long audio on YT, Jul 5, 2022:
The key investigation was how Meta data correlates to actual happenings on ground. Intel Slava is a Russian news Aggregator with over 400K followers and is supposed to be funded by Putin, Russian ministry of defence, FSB, GRU and SVR. Ukraine Today is a smaller channel with about 31K followers. Funding is unclear but seems to have sprung up spontaneously on people's inititiative. Maybe posters are ordinary people or sleected people.
Both groups have been popular among expatriate populations of both countries.
While chats, videos and photo's are all present, extracting post information from videos on Ukraine Today was difficult. Hence posting of photo's have been used to measure the intensity of information being put out.
Intel Slave has been around for longer and their post history is given below:
Since the war started, the activity has increased. Plotted together there are startling patterns on the absolute number of photo posts done:
Almost as if each group has been fighting the social war in tango. One leads, another slows down. Till the point when the UKR group kind of goes silent around 10th June 2022.
Plotted as %age of activity during this time, since the resources in each group are different, the graph is starker.
Period Group in Ascendant Events in Real World
- Week 10 to Week 11 (27th Feb to 12th Mar) UKR Fully 1/6th of all UKR posts in this 20 week period done here. This is the phase when the invasion started, and Social Media was replete with examples of a tractor driver stealing a BMP, a 'бабушка' giving laxatives to RUS Soldiers. High enthusiasm cheering posts.
2nd Mar is interesting. For first time UKR claimed to have gone on offensive in Horilivka. Kharkiv paratrooper attack. Kherson captured by RUS. It's almost as if UKR was cheering on their troop attacks
7th and 8th Mar- Again Interesting as UKR side continued to pump out photos. Mariupol evacuation- Week 13 to 14: 20th Mar to 2nd Apr RUS UKR groups tend to become silent. Specially after 28 Mar. Talks happening in Istanbul. RUS is de-escalation around Kyiv and Chernihiv to focus around Donbass
- Week 15 end through Week 18 (3 Apr to 30 Apr) UKR+ RUS 15% of UKR posts. In Week 15, it's concetrated around Bucha massacre, but otherwise a quiet week.
Things start heating up from Week 16 (13 to 15 Apr) Moskva sunk. It's as if the UKR side has come back to life and there is a fightback from RUS groups
Week 17 (17 Apr to 24 Apr)- Donbass offensive and Mariupol is taken by RUS. UKR starts to flag, and increased activty in RUS Groups
Week 18 (24 to 30 Apr)- Azovstal Steelworks attacked. UKR groups posting on visit of Blinken and Austin Llyod. Kherson occupation and instructions to use Roubles.
It is this phase which seems that the war had reached it's climax as both groups posted voluminously in this phase after the first lull following the invasion- Week 19 to 21 (1 May to 21 May) UKR+ RUS Relative lull. In Week 20, UKR groups grow very silent. RUS claims hitting NATO supplied arms depots, UKR withdrawal from around Kharkiv.
- Week 23 (29 May to 4 Jun) UKR Probably the busiest week in UKR groups. Close to 15% of posts made in this week.
UKR claims that RUS has suffered high casualties in the Battle of Sievierodonetsk for connecting road between Lysychansk-Bakhmut. Zelensky visits Kharkiv for first time since war started.
Information of delivery of M142 HIMARS and the US Cyber Com acting on behalf of UKR against RUS targets- Week 25 (12 Jun onwards) RUS UKR groups fall almost silent. As if deep down this public group has given up. Reflecting a realization of what is actually happening on the field. In my opinion, it is here that UKR actually lost the will to fight.
The world’s biggest tech groups have signed up to a law in Indonesia that campaigners warn threatens freedom of expression in south-east Asia’s largest economy, in the latest compromise by the sector to retain access to an important market.
Social media companies including Meta, TikTok and Twitter have registered for a licence at the Indonesian communications ministry under which they might have to censor content and hand over users’ data. Some registered only hours before a deadline at midnight on Wednesday.
Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Netflix and Spotify have also signed up.
Under rules announced in November 2020, Indonesia required tech companies to register with the government before Wednesday’s deadline. The authorities can order content that disturbs “society” or “public order” be taken down and demand access to companies’ data be given to law enforcement agencies.
Those who continue to operate without a licence risk receiving warnings, followed by fines and even losing their right to operate in the country.
“These technology platforms are increasingly used to interfere with or even obstruct human rights,” said Stephanie Hare, campaigner and author of Technology is Not Neutral: A Short Guide to Technology Ethics. But “ultimately their priority is to maximise shareholder value and obey the law”.
She added: “They could have all banded together and refused to do it . . . But they didn’t. [Meta] claims to be all about freedom of expression. So how does that square with going along with these rules?”
Jakarta has said its regulations protect personal data and ensure a “positive” digital space in the country. But the vague terminology has raised concerns among journalists given the use of social media platforms for activism and the broad use of existing laws to target reporters.
The criteria for disturbing the public are “flexible” and “rubbery”, Indonesia’s Alliance of Independent Journalists said in a statement. It warned that the authorities might consider news revealing human rights violations or crimes disturbing to public order.

@Rajeev_GoI spoke about the imminent IT Act, user harms on the internet, the delay in the data protection bill, why the government needs more exemptions than private companies, and a lot more.
