As anti-incumbency against Modi picks up due to falling economy & COVID,
BJP has decided that they must control Social Media like they control Media to remain in power.
FIR against Twitter is the first major action taken by BJP in its quest to stifle FoE using the new IT Rules.
BJP has understood that Online FoE is the last barrier that needs to be brought down for it to dominate people's mindspace with its own narratives & cut out opposition voices.
BJP already controls the Media with most journalists being sarkari mouthpieces. SM is it's target now.
BJP will now tell us what constitutes Free Speech & what you can post.
If you still go ahead & post, the Govt will ask the Social Media Platform to take it down. They will have to comply.
Govt will file cases against you & ensure that the Process itself becomes the Punishment.
Do you know that the @narendramodi govt is changing Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) regulation via a new draft notification which dilutes norms that infra/construction projects have to adhere to?
This will have a devastating impact on our environment!
The new EIA is pushed through by the @narendramodi govt in the midst of the Corona pandemic so that citizens, activists and stakeholders cannot voice their opinions and organise people against it?
Why in such hurry Modiji? Are your corporate friends forcing you?
The draft EIA is anti-People and anti-Poor and makes it easy for big corporates to obtain clearances easily for their projects at the cost of the environment
It does away with public consultation for most projects & also reduces the monitoring system on industries
