How does this work with the global nature of a website like Facebook?

>requiring them to remove any content flagged by authorities within 36 hours

Does this apply to content posted from an IP address located in India? Does it apply to content posted by a profile whose info states that they live in India regardless of where they connect from? If you don't want to be censored can you simply make a profile that lives elsewhere or connect via a vpn but friend all the same people?

Is content expected to actually removed or is it merely not shown to users who either live in or appear to connect from a location where it has been "removed".

Eg Bob in foo who doesn't believe in censoring sees a feed like

1. My friend had a great dinner out what a nice time

2. government of foo stinks they ought to take a long walk off a short pier

3. bar sucks too

James in bar sees

1. My friend had a great dinner out what a nice time

2. government of foo stinks they ought to take a long walk off a short pier

Sam in baz which wants to maintain a favorable relationship with foo and bar sees

1. My friend had a great dinner out what a nice time
