Reply to comment by MrDBoBo in India bans BBC documentary on PM Modi's role in Gujarat riots by bobby-mcshabi

People downvoted this. Haven't we banned Cambridge Analytica and RT news?

Cambridge analytica was a British political consulting firm that came to prominence through the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal

Which was responsible for stealing millions of peoples data for political ads

As for RT news: RT has regularly been described as a major propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy.[2] Academics, fact-checkers, and news reporters (including some current and former RT reporters) have identified RT as a purveyor of disinformation[58] and conspiracy theories.[65] UK media regulator Ofcom has repeatedly found RT to have breached its rules on impartiality, including multiple instances in which RT broadcast "materially misleading" content.[72]

From wiki^

Banning a documentary about your role in riots is very suspicious. Its like saying to someone

“oh yeah, I didn’t kill 3 people 20 years and bury all of them beneath now police stations. “😐

I said that the modi documentary shouldn't be banned.

I was just stating that bans in itself aren't always bad.
