Indian court forces Facebook, Google to censor content

I kind of made this point a week ago, so sorry for repeating myself. If the ‘requests’ are ignored, India passes a law. If Google and Facebook ignore the law, then India follows the USA’s lead and arrests any Google and Facebook executives it can get its hands on, just as the USA arrests and prosecutes executives of online gaming organizations that are entirely operated outside of its physical borders but have US customers.

So, in other words, Google stops operating in India.

Don't know why this was downvoted; it seems probable that Google would leave before the issue was escalated to the point of their executives being arrested.

or they would simply comply like they did in china for many years. Before you mention that the pulled out for the censorship, that was almost certainly nothing but a cover story, the real reason was Chinese government supported hacking, and constant redirects to Baidu.
