    Wait you think geoblocking news is a good solution? What the actual fuck

      Yeah, it’s better than no news, right? Of course the best is not removing it, the next best is only remove it on country that forbid it

        No it’s not better than no news. What’s better is that publications tell people like to go jump.

          Okay, so it’s better that the publications closed entirely, got it. Didn’t realize you take side of the bad guys, sorry

      I’ve never said that, I’ve said that it would be a better option than pulling out the article worldwide. A geoblock would ensure the article remains available outside of India, and could be retrieved somewhat trivially through a VPN or a proxy, making Reuters in compliance of the court order, which only applies within India’s border. It’s definitely better than not complying, which would lead to Reuters office in India being shut down and risking some of their employees going to jail for not respecting a court order.

      Reuters is appealing the decision, but for now they have to comply.
