But unfortuanately(as a side effect?) policies like this hinders the operations of goodwill nonprofits like Amnesty International[1].

Lol, it's not a side effect.

Huff Post and Amnesty Intl tend to lean liberal, which means butting heads with the current Hindu nationalist government and its agenda. As a very recent example, the Netflix kissing scene between a Muslim boy and a Hindu girl generated great outrage within the ruling party, and was covered with great disdain (or not covered) by most local media, and once things got dicey, international media began covering it, albeit by taking a stance opposite to the government.

Unfortunately, if they say something that the powers that be don't like or approve of, then they will interpret it as "Foreing Interference"
AI is liberal imperialism. I disagree with calling it “goodwill” as if they were universally good.
Goodwill is a strong word with Amnesty International, as they have a political side[1]

From your link: "Governments that have criticised AI include those of Israel, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, China, Vietnam, Russia, Chile and the United States".

What's their political side?
