In Elon musk thread it was locked, youtube video from Fox news deleted, video was about why Tulsi Gabbard was cancelled.
In Ukraine thread, locked thread and deleted twitter screen grab that shows western. News reporting double standard vs India. Twitter post mentioning ukraine war crimes was deleted and thread locked

Some one is going out of their way to cover it up.

None of the post or thread violate any forum rules.
 
Life goes on and will go on regardless of whether topics get closed or not. Things are changing quickly.

We need to keep an eye on them.
 
Soft ban on politics discussion till further notice. Please comply.

Linking to graphically violent content has always been against the rules on TE, due to the varied age groups accessing TE, hence the lock on the original thread.

Confusing comments like this further highlight the need for a break :-

Do use official govt platforms for updates/discussion.

No one is discussing politics, this geo strategic issues. If that is the case even covid discussion can be seen as politics.
Even tbhp has a thread on elon musk.
They have a thread on military.

I think this forum will end up like erodov with just sales thread.
 
Indian politics have been touched upon in threads for years here, and some threads have had detailed discussions.
Yep, majority of the General Talk section is politics. Hell, even many of the general tech threads devolve into politics. For that matter, I wonder what kind of discussion this is -

I can't remember anyone posting this :wideyed:

Show me a post or more that has it
 
may be in threads/posts about ukraine war crimes & western media double-standards on the war-reporting as mentioned in the OP (havent personally seen those).
It was stated but I don't think anyone posted anything graphic.

Do you know where you can find graphic violence on this board? first-person shooters, if anyone posts videos of playback

Much younger crowd into that sort of stuff
 
Guys chill, this is a tech forum. The only fighting allowed here is amd vs Nvidia vs Intel, apple vs Google etc. While you may think it beneath you,
1. It is really hard these days to have a civil discussion on these topics without triggering someone
2. There is a lot of government regulation and unreasonably big punishments for this sort of content for site admins.

Remember that we are guests here and the admins set the rules, because ultimately they are the ones who carry the burden of legal liability for the content you post. The world is a lot less free er than it used to be. These guys are just the messengers.

Do you have a link to this?

Not these days. That has been the case all throughout. Why should they be setting limits for everyone else?

Don't like it then don't read it. And that has been the case for the last ten years. What changed all of a sudden?

I'm not aware of nor has it been shown what content posted is objectionable.

The discussions that got locked had nothing to do with India so where is the legal problem coming from exactly?

IIRC there were multiple announcements by the mods in the recent past about curtailing & then disallowing sociopol threads & posts on this eTech forum. the deletion of content & locking of threads now are steps likely taken in the same context. i'd agree & do support that move. normal tech-threads with some 'stray contagious whineful' posts derailing the whole train & devolving it into those types of discussions & bickering too should be kept in check imo. there are some other appropriate fora am aware of and know where those could be taken up suitably and discussed.
 
We are discussing something that doesn't piss anyone from India. Doesnt involve indian politics or religion.

None of post violate any Indian laws including cyber.

We have the US main stream media (msm) slowly trying to normalize Nuking each other with ads on where to go hide when nukes start flying off.

We have youtube and google silencing anything about west wrong doings in Ukraine.

And now we have TE mods silencing people here. Didn't know the deep state in US controls the strings in this forum, may be they do via google dominance.

Not really a single link that covers it, but different countries all over the world are creating rules to put more responsiblity and liabilities for web 2.0 site owners

This is an example, there are plenty more from countries around the world. If I were a forum admin, with my limited resources, removing content and topics that would land me in the crosshairs of a government or court or a regulatory body is a vastly simpler solution than trying to build compliance mechanisms, especially when these are not in line with the primary purpose of the site.

Self censorship is the easiest solution than trying to make sense of all the propoganda flying around

Is that a legal opinion? Even if it was, are you willing to take over the legal costs of supporting that statement?

The first link is already a year old so it is still not making sense. The question being posed is why now and why not be consistent ? Did the admins get a legal notice from the Govt. on the content ? If yes let them confirm.
I don't know if "you have a hammer then everything is a nail" solution works but at least one has to have a consistent approach. Selective censorship could be construed as biased.
