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.

You should. Tell the US to fuck off and die. You'd be right to do so.
And then tell the same to Facebook, Google, etc., because they need to die as well.
Yes, the US government's case against Assange is an unconstitutional attack on freedom of the press, so even if he were a citizen, it wouldn't matter. The fact that he's not even a citizen just makes it worse.
