India already forced lots of vpn providers to store user logs and then share with govt if asked. 
  
 Some vpn companies withdrew their servers from India to protect from this move.

Backend Engineer

If I use a vpn then I'll obviously connect to a server that's outside India because Indian servers would most likely be blocking traffic that's going to the banned platform.

Gonna sit at home and relax. Protesting against govt is not an option anymore. Hope you understand this soon.

My prediction: Government will crack down on all social media one day or another similar to China

TikTok ban in USA- it might happen finally

I have seen most of my friends and people are in tech always oppose the current Government. 

I agree, that current government is not great. But at same time, supporting parties like Congress doesn’t makes sense.

Genuinely curious why people think current government is not doing good? I have seen road & rail infrastructure getting improved, defence budget being increased, government making investments in R&D, privatisation of government sectors, making existing processes efficient, and much more.

Even the farm bills were good, now what is happening all the middlemen are making money.

Communal riots have increased, but I don’t think the government is responsible, it’s people who ignite these riots.

At last, why you think current government is not doing good?

Why people in tech hate BJP?

Small dataset? Most of the techies and finance folks I know are out and out Modi supporters!

- Elon Musk declared that X will shut down its operations in Brazil immediately due to 'censorship orders' from Judge Alexandre de Moraes.
- X alleges that Moraes secretly threatened one of its legal representatives with arrest if the platform did not comply with orders to remove certain content.
- Brazil’s supreme court has not yet responded to requests for comment on the matter.
- Earlier this year, Moraes ordered X to block specific accounts as part of an investigation into 'digital militias' accused of spreading fake news and hate messages.
- Despite initial resistance, X representatives later assured Brazil’s supreme court that the platform would comply with the legal rulings.

There's been long standing need for an anti or reverse LinkedIn type social media.

In LinkedIn, people just pats each others back. 
We need a Social Media where people will come to call each others bullshit out and vent and shout at each other with sarcasm, humour and (sometimes) outright rage. 

We call it Bullshit-o-meter? 
(Any better name suggestions would be welcomed)

An anti-LinkedIn?

I was suffering from 2-3 mild health issues in metro. (prolonged cold n cough, regular sneezing etc)

Came home 🏡 in diwali and now extended wfh due to health gain. Living with parents and consuming clean air + food is helping improve my sleep quality as well ❤️‍🩹 (2h+ deep sleep) 8h continuous sleep.

I did cost benifit analysis and have decided to work on a plan which will eventually help me settle down at my birthplace within 2-5y. 

synopsis --

Children's play under sun 🌞 and have group of 10 kids. They ain't worried about anything. Their happiness index > ceos.  
  
They don't know about masturbation till 10th or age 14 if they don't have a smartphone.   
  
My workplace is open and aqi is below 10. Strong peepal and banyan trees 🌴 even 100y old. When I feel stressed due to any reason I just go to see sunset near my place hardly 2km away. It's a stress buster with earbuds in and watching migrant birds crossing river.  
  
Ain't those birds more free and independent than us? Like they don't give a damn 🕊️ about future and enjoy the present.  
  
Very less car and almost 0 traffic ⛔. People still use bicycles and cycle repair shop>garages.   
  
Life is slow and peaceful. People go to sleep at 9-10pm and wake up at 5-6am.  
  
Life is too easy. Cost of a family with 2acre land is hardly 25k/m here.  
  
Sometimes I wonder why chase 2 lac/month sacrificing so much in a so called developed city.  
  
Society is ambivert. Pizza 🍕 🍔 burger biryani is trying to enter these areas.  
  
But I don't miss swiggy.  
  
Zeptonis redundant here.  
  
My 💳 credit card is lying there thinking why am not swiping it...  
  
  
  
यहाँ कोई मित्र नहीं है, कोई आश्वस्त चरित्न नहीं है,  
सब अर्धनिर्मित है।  
अर्धनिर्मित इमारतें हैं, अर्धनिर्मित बच्चों कि शरारतें हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित ज़िन्दगी कि शर्ते हैं,  
अर्धनिर्मित जीवन पाने के लिए लोग रोज़ यहाँ मरते हैं।  
  
अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ के प्रेमियों का प्यार,  
अर्धनिर्मित है यहाँ मनुष्यों के जीवन के आधार  
आज का दिन अर्धनिर्मित

Rural Life Experience.

Toughest part is to find better half with same mindset. 
  
 I travel frequently and have covered whole india except 3-4 places like Andaman, lakshadweep and NE. 
  
 What I have noticed is gen z is very high on drugs and manyatimes they have 4-5 digit savings even after working for 4-5y. I am not generalising or against it, they can live their life the way they want but it's the harsh reality. 
  
 Can anyone live without malls, clubs, multiplex and junk food nowadays? 
  
 Anyone on same boat or think like this or have any other perspective? 
  
 Am all ears ...

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Reddit's approach to NSFW content raises some serious concerns. From suggesting NSFW posts to turning on permissions for viewing such content, Reddit seems to be pushing the boundaries in a country where porn is banned.

Reddit’s system is designed to:
- Suggest NSFW content even when it's not requested.
- Prompt users to enable permissions for viewing NSFW content.
- Display NSFW material in nearly every search result.

Given that explicit content is banned in this country, how is Reddit allowed to operate so freely? It seems more like a porn site in disguise than a social platform.

How is this even legal in india? Reddit openly promotes porn

No, let me explain why! 

This is what most YouTubers and political commentators either get wrong or choose to ignore to further their agendas. 

But, in my humble opinion India is too diverse (read divided) culturally, geographically and racially. As people we would never be okay with any one person to have the power to rule over us all. 

A gujarathi dictator will be rejected by the people of UP, 
A Sikh dictator will be rejected by the southern states, 
A Jatt dictator, well, he will be rejected by everyone :)

For a dictatorship to be successful you need a leader who is supported by an executive, legislative and judicial machinery. Like how hitler replaced all executive and judicial positions by nazi party members. Like how Shia dictator or head of state appoint Shia executive and military leaders and slowly marginalise the other community. 

For our luck we are so diverse as country that a dictator from Tamilnadu will not have the support of all Tamilians. He will be judged on his religion, caste and region he hails from. A Tamil Brahmin has to appease to get the  support of non Brahmins in a simple local election. 

We will survive as democracy for this reason. Whether it’s good or bad is a different discussion. But for what it’s worth our diversity inherently requires a leadership which runs on consensus. 

Hence, in our political history we have always seen people with dictatorial tendencies being heavily humbled by our fractured mandates, whether it was Indira Gandhi or Narendra Modi.

Will India have a dictator?

Not shocked at all 😒😪

Damn 
 Messenger chats being shared is messed up  
  
 I have all my messages with my 7th grade crush there

It was either a GOATed intellectual move by the government or a fluke that has paid us well.
PUBG and TikTok were two cancerous apps that was f'ing with the cultural zeitgeist imo.

[Thread] Was banning TikTok a masterstroke by us?

As Indians we should be open to all the facts, irrespective of the side. This is in fact an eyeopener

One may dislike the guy, but can’t ignore the message

Till 1947 Indians were made to lick the boots of the British Raj. The overlords. The 'saviors' of an inferior race. The fear mongers.  

That fear has got coded in our DNA. It hasn't changed much.

Biggest indicator of that

NCCS A workforce belonging to the younger millennial and gen z generation fearing to name wrong doers in an ANONYMOUS app!

We are not very different from our parents and grandparents who had lesser choices to revolt and stand up against unfairness.

Sad.

Fear rules...even on grapevine.
