How can I, as an Indian citizen, "resist" or "protest" these changes? Today the government wants backdoors in social networks, tomorrow they may turn to other aspects.
Also, I would like to point out that the laws should be very different for peer-to-peer encrypted tools like WhatsApp and Signal vs laws for "content-discovery" platforms like twitter and google search. While the government should not concern itself what we speak to each other about as in the former case, for the latter there should be some moderation, just that the government should have some form of moderation along with the actual companies. Anyways I don't care much for the latter group as what I see / discover is already being manipulated by someone. We all want an unaltered version of the news / content but I believe it's an impossible problem to solve.
