| This is very sad to see, and makes me really worry about the people who got their names handed to the police. The current jingoistic BJP regime is doing all sorts of authoratarian things in India, like demolishing housing for merely taking part in protests [0]. They have also used facial recognition techniques to identify mere protesters and punish them severely [1]. They put a doctor in jail for saving lives of kids by paying for oxygen out of his own pocket, because he publicized those already dead [2]. I am seriously worried about what will happen to the people whose names were in the donors' list. Will they be arrested, be put on some sort of shitlist and their lives will be made full of problems because they dared to fund a company that merely fact-check the lies spread by the IT cell of the ruling party? Note that, the tweet is a mere screenshot of a movie from 1983. The director or the producer of the movie aren’t touched. But sharing the screenshot unedited put him in jail [3]. It is also a major factor that he has an Arabic name. [0]: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-india-61785275 [1]: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-citizenship-protest...
