Indian court orders YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to block "defamatory" video worldwide

When the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that European courts can order Facebook to takedown content globally, if it's deemed to be illegal in Europe, Facebook warned that the ruling "undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on another country." Now Facebook's warning is manifesting outside of Europe with an Indian court recently ruling that YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter must block a video globally because it's deemed to be "defamatory" by the court.

    That works for me. Assange should not be extradited to the US. He should not even be held in Britain.

    Australians should feel ashamed that their special forces did not extract one of their fellow citizens who was being illegally held.

    Australians should feel ashamed that their special forces did not extract one of their fellow citizens who was being illegally held.

    And New Zealanders should feel ashamed that their police carried out an illegal home invasion and continue to persecute a local resident as a special favor to movie companies and the American FBI.

    Assange did the crime of skipping bail. There was no illegal detention for Assange under that crime.
