UAs you might be aware today, like two years ago, instgrams algorithm suddenly started showing content like but not limited to gore, terrorism, self harm , people being set on fire, being trampled on by elephant, shot to death, dissected, being operated on , along with both sofcore and hardcore adult content.
If you check various teen subreddits you would realise the adverse effects it had on a large number of teenagers and adults.
Seeing how India’s got latent got banned for an obscene comment, it should be viable for meta to be punished for promotion of violence to the masses (comparatively much more serious violation)

PI actually think this was deliberately done. The government needs to pass a bill to censure content on social media. Latent controversy wasn’t enough. This will definitely put a nail in the coffin. Nothing g will happen to meta but you will definitely have less freedom. Just so you know I do agree that platforms should be held accountable for the content on their platform, just not in favour of government censorship.

UI too think that the hate for latent was artificially manufactured to, like you mentioned, get the broadcast bill passed, or to cover other major problems that are going on all over the country.
An outlet for everyone to stare at, curse and forget other problems. But must say , it worked damn well.
Atleast for the ignorant masses, for those who can understand the other motives behind this, this just seems like a prelude to a much bigger change which would unfold in near future. -

II think it is governments plan to censor internet. They ll take this and form some kind of committee which reviews content. And if you speak negative of government they ll flag you etc.
-
UTo hell with what they want, and to be honest i would love to see them try this.
If this does happen the politicians would realise the votes with are usually cold numbers to them each have a living breathing human it represents, trying to censor soo many of us is only going to backfire.-
-
UYour votes aren’t enough buddy, they’ll buy the votes needed through freebies. The educated population is not their votebank, in the end they’ll get away with censorship and brainwash the uneducated population under the guise of “morality”

UThat bill is called DIGITAL ID. it’s again a masterplan of BILL GATES to control the human population. Just like COVID they controlled your body via vaxxines soon they control your money via CBDC your internet via DIGITAL ID your food consumption via CARBON CREDIT SCORE your social behaviour via SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE.
It’s a mass PSYOP. End of freedom. Dystopia 2030

SWhy you want to be part of circus? Or is it that you believe you will be rewarded for winning the case if you turn lucky? Forget it, nothing is going to happen. There are already many cases on them. Why do you think such companies hire lawyers and pay them handsomely? Lol

UWell lets say i would rather be a clown by choice than to accept what i consider wrong to be forced upon me.
Biggest crime is to not stand up against the wrong done to you.-
SSounds like a superhero movie. Charity starts from home then. Start with your relatives/friends who are government officers and are corrupt..if you can do something about that, then definitely you definitely have all power to stand and fight against the system without breaking down. All the best.

UMore like , lets not let the kids who haven’t formed mature moral compass or believfs be exposed to violent or bolldy content.
Maybe actually verifying atleast the age of the people using social media, (i don’t think there is anything good about minors using social media, only to be exposed to the worst of the society)
-
SThat’s the job of the so called parents, you make a kid, you make sure the kid does not have unlimited access to internet. But letting the government control what we see is not really behind what North Korea or china does, India is close behind them already as it is.
-
UWhile i completely agree that its a parents job to make sure their children aren’t exposed to things they shouldn’t be, but in all reality this sentence doesn’t hold as much weight, because not all parents are knowledgeable enough (lack of education, being unable to keep up with time and whatnot) to effectively manage what their child is exposed to,
In this situation its responsibility of the government to take the necessary measures.
The government is meant to serve the people of the nation, it is not the government people should fear
(Honestly goverments should fear the people not the other way around)As for the censorship, don’t you realise the government has been doing that for a looong time
Manipur would be the best example in recent times, an entire state which was involved in conflict for YEARS, and was conveniently forgotten by country’s mainstream media.
The very same media which would rather cover a story about viral dog or cat videos then about people ending their lives due to various injustice done to them by not just by others common people but by the judicial system, members of legislative system and the people from executive system as well.Keeping quiet when being subjected to injustice is disguised consent, and to a certain extent promotion of such activities.
-
SI get your point but the government being scared of the public and working for us, yes in an ideal world that’s the case but our world is not ideal. And with regards what they are already doing there is difference between covertly doing something and doing something with the knowledge of public.
-
UIdeal don’t become reality just by think about them, i recognise and accept this , hence i am doing the lil i can, be it being a better person myself, or to try to spread awareness, so i would either see what i want happening when i am still alive or die trying to achieve it. For me both are acceptable cases.
The second half of your statement is true as well but my point is , whether covertly or outwardly, what they are doing remains the same. The effect it has is also the same. Detestable in any case tho
-
UI mean they are trying to censor the NDLS stampede videos on ‘X’ by using the authority that a government body has , the time is near when reddit would be under their command
-
SExactly, at least now the public is not for censorship but on the behest of something like this if the public agrees to getting censored I don’t even know how bad it will get in the future where we won’t even be able to see what the other parts of the world are seeing. It’s fucked up and almost dystopian.

UI never claimed to do so anyways.
But as a person who has been born and raised in this nation i think i can represent myself and , i think i can represent magnitude of people who have the same thoughts as me.
(Honestly what exactly were you trying to do with this comment? Do you feel so great and smart after saying that ? Or do you just desperately want to be noticed??)

SNAL,
I believe, As an Individual, once you have used their services, you have already waived off your right to file a case against Meta/Facebook/Instagram as per their TOS.
-
UWaving off rights is pretty stupid in all honesty,
Just think of this , you go in a haunted house and they make you sign a document saying nothing that happens inside is their responsibility and you are on your own responsibility is something were to happen
And then they proceed to knive you to death, in this case the document is not going to be protecting them , just because the people signed to something.Similarly, in our constitution it is clearly mentioned that government can take action if someone is trying to promote violence, acts of terrorism etc, which Instagram did do.
Moreover, even if i cant do anything, i still want to try, atleast to get the attention of those who can infact do something.

UNot all of them had sensitive content warning, moreover it was majority of the reels (6/10) for me ,
I have never liked or set my preference to such content but my fyp was filled with such content, and this is indeed meta’s fault. For both failing to prevent the content to be on the app and secondly to promote it to unsuspecting masses

NStop having the govt waste money on things like that. This is the duty of a parent that their child isn’t exposed to things like that.
-
UIn that case why was India’s got latent banned under the banner of protection people, saving national and heritage.
Isn’t it also the duty of the parent to not let their children be affected by the content they see online.
And yet multiple politicians filled FIRs and caused all sorts of drama, while i don’t support those comedians, government intervention in one case and ignoring the othe one is illogical.
