When is it supposed to kick in? Because it sure hasn't been done yet.
Edit: Blatant misinformation
the main problems of those blocking orders, worldwide, not only in india, is that while blocks are immediate and done with no supervision directly in the hands of the copyright trolls, unblocks are slow and need 100+ approvals
It's exactly how reporting shithead users online is like.
You report a stupid asshole, takes a long ass time to be dealt with.
They report you - record time.
You can get someone banned on reddit easily if they say certain phrases. I banned a lot of conservative shitheels before they banned me, so I made another account.
Reddit's admins are super touchy on violence. If someone says a thing on Reddit that sounds like they want to do violence to a person, even if it's not a real person or they're obviously joking, just report threatening violence for a free ban.
I'm at odds about the whole violence thing. People should be allowed to express how they feel, even if it means that they express the most grotesque way in how they'd like to handle someone they don't like. One cannot always assume someone will have the means and resources necessary to carry out the perfect murder on someone.
If we are to glorify the concept of anonymity, why are we so afraid of these kinds of expressions? You won't know who I am, you won't know where I am and you won't know much about me unless I give out details or hints to either of those things. I've long stopped making death threats to people online years ago because it sounded absolutely ridiculous, knowing that I'll never be able to reach the person whom I hate. Much less, even go through with the threat at all.
That doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to express how nice it'd be if I held someone's head down while riding an escalator as the feed of the steps gradually grates the skin off their face.
I think this is really just a symptom of how social media of all walks on the internet don't really do enough in the way of security and privacy so that these things are simply just that - expressions.
😆 you report mean people on the Internet.
Uh, that's what the report button is for. Let me tell you something, you sound like the kind of person who go around calling people "soft" or "snowflake". You believe there should not be any cyber bullying laws. You believe everyone should just shut up and take it. But I bet you, you're the biggest snowflake of them all because as soon as someone dishes out what you give to others online, you'll be squealing to the moderators before you know it.
Don't lie to yourself, I see trashy people like you pull this kind of act all of the time. You're nothing special.
I'm lying to myself. Yes that's it. I'm so trashy. Mhm. I'm a huge snowflake, you got it bud. 😂
Its been like this for a long time. I still find it difficult to access raw.github. the reversal is not proper as far as I can say.
Edit: checked now, still can't.
Based on the other comments, they blocked the raw url.
But the headline 'India blocks github" is incorrect at all levels
