Honestly this is more reflective of the poorly defined free speech laws in India that are full of caveats and carve outs.

Politicians and other public figures in India routinely take detractors to task using defamation laws. I guess now corporations are realising that they too can play the same game.

Most of these laws date back to colonial times and are in need of replacement.

All of this brings into focus how good American free speech jurisprudence is and how vitally important that is for a democracy.
