Dear friends & “followers”,
I am no big celebrity of any sort in either the Facebook or Twitter worlds … I have only 175 “followers” on my FB page here. But I do very much respect and value all 175 of you who are out there as my friends and so here is what I must tell you in advance:
1. I have read the laws and regulations of India applicable to Social Media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
2. I find them all quite reasonable. Nothing in them is oppressive or even vaguely close to the definition of any violation of the right to “free speech”.
3. I therefore cannot really understand what, how or why these multinational social-media companies earning multibillion revenues in India find it so difficult to comply with our laws.
4. Since the laws are not oppressive at all, the raging debate going on in the public about any govt. punitive action that might be taken against these social media companies should be construed as an “assault” on the fundamental right to “freedom of speech” in a democratic society such as ours is nothing but false narrative. I am convinced it’s pure sophisticated drivel put out by pseudo-democrats and closet-anarchists.
5. So, dear friends, I am telling you now that if Facebook fails to comply with India Laws, then I shall forthwith terminate my account and quit Facebook. I do not wish to patronise a social media platform which under Indian Laws ought to be held accountable as a serial offender who wilfully disrespects my country’s laws.
So, my friends, those of you who might wish to continue to “follow” me out of mutual respect and goodwill we maintain for each other, and to engage with me and my views and opinions on a variety of subjects, you may please log on to my own Website below:
unknownsrivaishnava.wordpress.com
You can “follow” me on my website, freely post your own messages and we can carry on our dialogues or discussions there.
This is for your kind information.
Looking forward to seeing you all elsewhere than on Facebook which by all accounts looks like it is NOT going to respect the laws of our land.
Thank you
Bhaarath Maatha ki Jai 🇮🇳
