      That's exactly what the government is doing. You don't realize it because you are the one being appeased. If it were some other group you would take note.

          Governments are scared of people talking without they knowing what they say. India kgb is the same as chinese, american kgb, german stasi... What they don't know is that the move to akasa is underway. the machine cannot hear it

            Meaning other messenger apps have office in India and give Indian government access to chat and location data

                      Seems like the terror is on their side to loose surveillance control on communications between humans. Is free speech something humanity is still willing to stand for?

                                [deleted post]Most politicians are hypocritical, regardless of democratic or communist political systems. They will lambast their political opponents but when they enact same draconian policies, they will use "for the benefit of the country" as main excuse.

                                  wait what? Mediafire is also a messaging app? 😅
