I am having difficulty deconstructing your argument. Is it since you believe that these platforms are suppressing some plausibly truthful content, all content on these platforms / the platforms themselves should be suppressed?

[throwaway8581]

No, it's because the platform policies enforce a foreign social order. In America, we have our own pieties and taboos and these social media platforms heavily enforce them. Transgenderism, homosexuality, racial equality, gender roles, not every country holds American or European views on those, but those are the only views that are fully allowed on American social media platforms.

India has its own social order. Why should it let its online discourse be controlled by the American social order?

What do you think is the social order in India?

How is this relevant to GP's point?

[Mordisquitos]

GP is defending the possibility of the Indian Government banning Facebook, Twitter & Instagram on the basis that these platforms are "enforcing" some very particular issues that happen to be currently salient in certain American media, and implies that they are counter to India's social order. However, at no point does the linked article make any mention of the Indian Government being concerned about any of these issues nor social order in general, so asking GP about their thoughts on the current social order in India, which is purportedly being "controlled" by these American platforms, is very relevant.

Cause its not related to social order but about control. This govt is authoritarian and they'll go to any extent to control information.
