India - United States Relations

Which is the reason I've advocated graduation of steps beginning with development testing & unrolling it for the government & government controlled bodies before introduction to the rest of the country.

That takes time. In assuming at least a decade if the government is serious about it . And since timing is everything in politics or even geo politics this is the right time to strike.
Idt it will take a decade for us to make our own reddit, twitter, youtube, Google. Maybe 3-4 years + 1-2 years roll out and refinement if we are serious about it.
 
Yeah,we can have Nepal like uprising here too. Are you guys are so dumb?

We can hit the smaller players, twitter and reddit and Onlyfans, they have a lot of NSFW content. we can ban them by including under P*rn ban by the supreme court. Also some kind of restrictions can be applied to Instagram too. At least it will send a message.
 
Before we do such a thing we need to have domestic alternatives in testing for a year at least to sort out bugs and refine the experience to match reddit, twitter, Google etc. Make the opposition party somehow come on board, make them form the first accounts or something. I think our companies can do it.
We do have some alternatives. For example Zoho product suites are a good alternative to many Google products. Infact I have seen many western Youtubers promoting Zoho products in their de-googlify videos in the past.

Its quite simple.
1. Ban DNS resolution to google domains for gmail or twitter or reddit etc.
2. Ban traffic going to 8.8.8.8 for DNS (thats google owned DNS), infact intercept traffic going to google DNS servers and deny resolution
3. Filter traffic going to APIs of twitter, youtube media servers etc.
4. Perform deep packet inspection and deny access to google etc HTTP domains based on TLS certificate.

All of these can be done at ISP end. No need for OS or smartphone brand control.
All of these can be beaten with relative ease. Which is why except banana republics no govt makes a serious effort.

GoI got it right by enticing these companies to open offices in India and have a liason officer who acted on Govt directives.

Bans dont work, are easily beaten and make the govt look silly.

British or European rule made S#x,nud!ty,pleasure houses a taboo in India. They had left India in 1947, also themselves change graduly their views on these three things post world war. But we still carryiforward western vies from 1600.

Point is never that it can not be beaten. It is it cannot be beaten enmass. Making something inconvinient reduces its reach.

China does it. Has always been doing it.
 

Generic drugs do not come under this tariff. Applicable to patented and branded lot.

Per reports, India supplies over 45 per cent of generic and 15 per cent of biosimilar drugs used in the US. Firms like Dr Reddy's, Aurobindo Pharma, Zydus Lifesciences, Sun Pharma and Gland Pharma reportedly earn anywhere from 30-50 per cent of their total revenues from the American market.

Although the latest American tariffs appear to mainly target branded and patented drugs -- a segment dominated by multinational giants -- uncertainty looms over whether complex generics and speciality medicines from India would also be under the scanner.
 
Here Increasing Influence means basically becoming a slave
Well, influence can not come at the cost of sucking dick... I mean whores have a lot of influence... only so long they have dick in their cunt.... so thanks no thanks.

Munir is field marshal to him, and pak pm is a great leader. What happened to our foreign policy
Its the other way round... what happened to american foreign policy.
 
Americans rage bait and Indians keep falling for it. The same goes for Pakistan and their narratives. Learn to counter them methodically and move on. Derek makes these posts for engagement and gaining social media clout that's it.
Even so called experts are engagement farming on twitter... may be it is "guilt free", "me money" to be spent on guilty pleasures.... Anyhoo.

You're absolutely right. These experts are now adjacent to X trolls and engagement farmers. What can go wrong with a little more? Get a coffee or a snack for free. All that's needed is Pakistan better...Y reason and that's it.
