via@Chellaney·21 MayPublishing PRC-paid supplements without marking them as advertisements or identifying the Chinese government as the payer is an unconscionable breach of journalistic and business ethics.
In fact, the supplements are intentionally designed to pass off as the dailies' own articles.
Just do Twitter and Facebook, Netflix can be fixed through other means like bringing OTT platforms to comply with CBFC regulations. As we conduct the autopsy of NDA-3, one glaring oversight and the reason for their current plight is because of the failure to create a pro-national ecosystem within the bureaucracy and the judiciary, this should have done from day 1 starting 2014.darshhan wrote:The current BJP govt has less than 1 year to ban the following organizations from operating in India before they are truly screwed.Sicanta wrote:Tweets posted by five more BJP politicians tagged as 'manipulated media'

2. Facebook
3. Instagram
4. Netflix
I am not including Google, amazon etc as of now since the effects will be too debilitating. And we do not have any local alternatives.
Whereas banning the above four shouldn't be a problem but only if govt ministers and officials are non compromised and above board in their official and personal conduct.
He can write what he wants, but the simple fact is there is no manufacturer that can fulfil the orders at the scale india wants and at a price that the states can afford. Not Pfizer, not Moderna. Maybe Sinopharm but it is not approved.chetak wrote:james has become hyperactive after the toolkit

With vaccine capacity coming online from July, the above becomes moot.
Also what is the logic behind the 2B number?
Koo or any other indigenous social media platform will never take off until twitter, facebook and instagram are banned. That is the bare minimum requirement for a indigenous social media platform to succeed.vimal wrote:What happened to Koo
The reason I am in favour of banning netflix is that if you are already banning facebook, twitter and instagram then in the same stroke you can also ban netflix. Make no mistake, netflix is part of big tech now and has tremendous ability to influence masses. Probably even more than twitter I suppose. I am also not sure what kind of value they are adding, both in terms of economy as well as cultural or civilizational.Ambar wrote:Just do Twitter and Facebook, Netflix can be fixed through other means like bringing OTT platforms to comply with CBFC regulations.

Simplest way for BJP and its allies to screw Twitter is to use a local alternative and do all their messaging from a new platform, this will turn Twitter into a echo chamber as it has turned out in the European countries and the US today where it is just people from the left political ideology screaming at the walls . This will also ensure Twitter in the longterm becomes irrelevant .
The other challenge is lack of monetization, one of the biggest attraction of youtube, instagram, twitter, facebook, tiktok etc is the money people make developing content, desi alternatives need to get to atleast 50% of the payout compared to the western companies if they are to compete.darshhan wrote:Koo or any other indigenous social media platform will never take off until twitter, facebook and instagram are banned.

Although truth be told, koo is not a very inspiring or original effort. It is completely a copy of twitter wrt user interface and possibly the algorithms are not as advanced.

Bhai Jack Dorsey doesn't stay in India. He stays in US where Indian authorities do not have any jurisdiction i.e after considering they have any inclination to even consider judicial action against him. At the most you can arrest some low level Indian executives which doesn't mean anything in the larger scheme of things and neither will Jack Dorsey lose any sleep over this.vijayk wrote:file criminal charges against Twitter scums and arrest some of the executives.

Who am I to ban? The decision lies with govt of the day. But I stand on my point. They should be banned and future will prove me right.CalvinH wrote:Are you serious? Can you believe the impact on optics. BJP should know how to handle and use them. Banning them is not a solution.darshhan wrote:

Saying 'perhaps' is being kind. It might actually be the most important factors. To numbers on it, if the damage caused by procrastination in civil duties, lack of progress in judicial cases (with a 20+ year backlog), corrupted file pushing, file blocking etc. exceeds the annual defence budget, we have an idea of the scale. I think the judicial reforms have to precede bureaucratic reforms. Otherwise, cases filed against bureaucratic reform sit in the judiciary for god knows how long.Philip wrote: Reformation of the bureaucracy and judiciary are perhaps the two most important factors that are desperately needed if the country is not to descend further into the abyss of despair.

Good analogy. War. A lot of western nations have lower bureaucracy and faster reaction because (IMO) they've gone through wars where the average citizen has been affected, as in shot at, or bombed on. This is important and focusses the mind of a person as to what is important. There is a difference between how a bureaucrat or a common citizen in Delhi, Darjeeling or Dhanushokdi perceives a terrorist action in some part of India. If his relatives get impacted directly the reaction is different. Otherwise it is just a paragraph in a newspaper, and minutes later IPL is discussed. This attitude does not exist if you are directly affected, as in shot at, or it happens to your relatives. Coronavirus has done this to India.This is the greatest challenge to the nation since Independence,far worse than all our wars put together, where the " iron frame" of India, rusted long ago, must return to its days of repute when it was unheard of for an IAS officer to be corrupt.
Khan Sir has blotted his copybook more than once. From peddling fake propaganda about CAA to instigating more violence and purposefully bending facts to suit his political perspective about farm laws he has done it all. If he is worried about muslim kids in jihadi protests it is not out of his concern about the future of our nation but his concern about how some of these kids may not make it through the zakat foundation UPSC coaching. He is also the same guy who a couple of weeks ago called Hamas as "freedom fighters", so not sure why he is complaining about pro-Palestine protests now.ernest wrote:Terrorist sympathizers on twitter and Youtube want to cancel Khan Sir for his criticism of using kids in jihadi protests. They are trending
Folks on Twitter / YT please support someone who puts his nation first. He is one of the strongest voices on social media that is stopping kids from religious brainwashing by the usual terrorist sympathizers. He has been physically attacked with bombs in the past for his stand, and he needs all our support to stand against these BIF guys

It is fair to assume that this late awakening of India being abused with the term came only when Singapore reacted instantly to a stupid tweet by Arvind Kejriwal using the term “Singapore Strain”. So much that Singapore even warned that it has legal provisions to prosecute Kejriwal but decided against it after GOI reassured it. Last week, the top BJP sleuths, like Sambit Patra, claimed to have landed on a “Toolkit” by the Congress which promoted usage of the terms “Indian Variant” and “Modi Strain”. Regardless of what the Toolkit conspired to do, the GOI did not act on usage of the term “Indian variant” till 2 days ago. There is a severe lack of alertness and response to situations by a govt that already looks like a lame-duck as much as the PM looks like a wandering mendicant. He has simply no clue what to do other than fire-fighting. Consequently, the Congress filed an FIR against some BJP leaders who circulated the Toolkit in Chhattisgarh where they have a Congress govt. On their mass-complaint Twitter also tagged Patra’s tweet on the Toolkit as “manipulated media”:

Nothing can be a bigger humiliation for a ruling party when a social media platform alleges and marks its content as possible “concoction” and “forged”. In the initial years of ModiSarkar (2014-2017) many of us thought these are teething troubles that a new govt faces and that its clumsiness and stupidity will go once they get a grip on things and some experience in government. But, unfortunately, despite being elected with a greater victory in the second term, the BJP has only drifted and slid into pathetic incompetence and all-round failures. The only thing that the BJP seemed good at is electioneering but once they get to power, they seem to be hopelessly out of ideas, out of guts and out of common sense. Today, many of the staunchest supporters of BJP like Suhel Seth, Minaz Merchant are also ridiculing Modi. Merchant has even ridiculed Modi’s beard and ask him to groom himself and return to normalcy. I see some clear reasons why BJP is on a slide
...........
Modi went quiet after the Bengal loss. The BhajanMandli idiots started chanting that his silence is his secret weapon. But the usually loud-mouth, blabbering Modi returned to his old ways lecturing on Covid-2 and talking directly to District Magistrates on handling Covid. He usually likes to talk in a situation where nobody talks back or nobody asks any probing questions. In all these 7 years, Modi’s interactions have all been one-way unless there are little children who ask “programmed questions” on Mann Ki Baat or Pariksha Pe Charcha. Though many blame Modi for the Covid-2 failures and quite rightly so, I don’t consider it as his major failure as this was a situation beyond his imagination and control. I did expect that as soon as he stopped election campaigning in mid-April he would address the nation, express sorrow for the dead and assure people that his govt would do all it can to save lives. Nothing came about. However, Modi expressed sorrow on May 21, choked and fought off tears in another show of histrionics that would do Swara Bhaskar proud
...................
Unfortunately (or fortunately for Modi) another cyclone is predicted for the east coast around May 26. Maybe that will give him another chance to go an aerial survey with Mamata Banerjee and get away from Delhi. Such runaway-activities, general interactions with frontline govt officials and sermons to the public are what seem to keep the PM busy. If there are no election campaigns, Modi seems out of his element. It now turns out that the 18-44 group vaccine announcement was also a political distraction from all the Covid deaths, burning pyres and tragedies all over. Now the entire vaccination programme has gone into heavy weather and every age-group is struggling. The GOI predicts vaccine availability will improve only from August. This is an outright fraud on the innocent public by the nautanki of PM Modi and his gang.
Modi came to power in 2014 on the promise of punishing the corrupt and “Vikas” for all. All that is now down the drain. Even the “fake” unspoken Hindutva image he had carved out for himself is sunk beyond redemption. His only ideas seem to be Muslim and minority appeasement, crawl at gurudwaras and doles to farmers and other backward groups. There is nothing to revive the economy or tackle unemployment.

You have nothing to be sorry about. Khan Sir is a complicated person with a complex personality, he has done a lot of good with his youtube channel making education accessible to everyone but his education mixed with political messaging confuses people like me about his motives. To add to the confusion there are some muslims who claim Khan Sir is not even a muslim but a Hindu with a fake muslim name and then there are others who say he is a secular muslim with a hindu nickname who celebrates all festivals equally. The only sure thing in all this is shantidoots on twitter are baying for his blood all because he was against kids being used in pro-Palestine rallies.ernest wrote:Ambar wrote:

Sorry, I did not follow these events. In that case, I am deleting my post, as it serves no purpose on this thread
What a load of crock ! Typical of these jackals to attack the wounded and run away when their prey rises and fights back. If Modi was such an abject "all around failure" as this mediacrooks guy claims then the public wouldn't have elected him with the biggest majority since Rajiv Gandhi's victory (thanks to sympathy wave in the aftermath of Indira's death) in 1984. Modi is no god and he never claimed to be one, he is a honest administrator without a speck of corruption and zero interest in amassing personal wealth , something we've rarely seen in Indian politics with the exception of perhaps Lal Bahadur Shastri, PVNR and Atal Bihari Vajapayee. Even out of these 3, both PV Narasimha Rao's govt and ABV's govt saw plenty of corruption allegations but none in the 7 yrs of Modi administration despite Congress' best attempts of blowing baseless Ambani, Adani, Rafale smoke.darshhan wrote:Mediacrooks guy takes apart the Namo led BJP govt
