Strange they're willing to block a service for 'allowing' this but somehow can't be bothered to figure out their giant scam industry.

So..... If someone did it the old fashioned way by telephone from a public phone, or sent out a letter, or shared leaflets, would we be looking at disconnecting public phones, stopping the postal service and banning home printers?

Pathetic authoritarian fucks ugggh... Please remember... India is NOT a democratic counterbalance to China. They're just like China. The only difference is that they both hate each other.

Wonder if they’d block Gmail, too.

Wait till they ban talking for threatening verbally

I swear these dumb bureaucrats and politicians would've banned torrent, tor, etc. too if it was possible.

If you don't receive the email containing the bomb threat because you banned the email domain, does the bomb really exist?

No! The bomb just goes away. Checkmate, terrorists.

Btw Internet Freedom Foundation (or the IFF) filed several RTI requests (RTI = Request to information) regarding this situation. If anyone wants to follow their progress then here's their Mastodon account: https://mastodon.world/@internetfreedom@mas.to

The IFF is a highly trustworthy and well respected organization that fights for Indians digital rights and democratic freedoms. They've done a lot of good work over the years, they even helped VLC to get unblocked when it was banned in India.

Guys! I know how to get Gmail blocked in India!

After WhatsApp and Telegram duh.

So I can't use Proton Mail anymore?
