As Narendra Modi’s government clamps down on the free press

This isn't new...

India's press freedoms have been dog shit for a long time now.

And I can't imagine Google not caving to demands from Modi to ban these YouTube channels, at least in India.

They want to keep that market locked down with cheap Android phones because that's what most Indians can afford. Well, most Indians who can afford even those. I think like 33-50% of Indians dont have Internet access of any kind.
