This has actually become a David vs Goliath situation. Pradeep Poonia has been at the forefront fighting this curbing of free speech and abuse of content moderation. They've started a subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/whiteHatSr) and numerous channels on YouTube to spread awareness but most things keep getting taken down.

The main issue is that these people are promoting coding for kids aged 6-12 to be a silver bullet that'll land them Rs. 150,000,000 salaries. Gullible parents are shelling out $1000 for very basic classes in scratch. And FOMO is being used to drive this.

That will surely help closing the skill gap in the country [0]. Seriously isn't that market beyond saturation? [1]

The same kind of parents who send them to JEE coaching and it will fill IITs/NITs with super hard working but actually mediocre kids.

Expectable that it was the next stage of IIT rat race.
