India dictator Modi is trying -- with some success -- to remove a BBC documentary about his ugly history from the airwaves and the Internet. I hope people who have copies will be prepared to seed them widely on servers Modi can't take down, just in case the BBC complies with the censorship the way Musk did at Twitter. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/narendra-modi-india-bbc-documentary_n_63d12031e4b01e9288679853
India's Attempts To Censor BBC Documentary Make More People Want To See It

The Indian government has dismissed the series, which is critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, as "propaganda."

Why is the Modi documentary so hard to find? Some blame lies with the BBC

Copyright claims by the BBC are making a bad situation worse.

To be fair the BBC do aggressively police copyright on YouTube.
It would be interesting if they broadcast it on BBC World or a local broadcaster licensed it.
@dangillmor
Is it available in Australia?
@dangillmor let me say something: those right wingers learned well from the Red Danger satanic panic US pushed all around. The Serpent's Egg had hatched: Modi, Bolsonaro, Trump, Orban...
@dangillmor Two words: Streisand Effect.

@dellway @dangillmor still available via re-uploaded video links & Telegram/WhatsApp forwards... And in 3 Indian states where BJP were not in power, the police did not interrupt public screenings.
So yeah, there's a chance more people are watching than if there was no ban...

However, as long as Indian mainstream media keep playing pro-modi propaganda, the documentary won't make a dent to the perception among the majority die whom cognitive dissonance is the only way things make sense of life...

@dangillmor The BBC already has.
So have I.
