India's Covid censorship

Recode Daily - En podcast af Recode

If you remember how bad the coronavirus pandemic was in the US about a year ago, right now in India … it’s worse. In fact, it’s the worst outbreak the world has seen since the beginning of the pandemic. People are turning to Twitter and Facebook to ask for help, crowdsource medical supplies, and demand the government take better action. But then some of their posts disappeared ... at the request of the government. Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauchamp) explains. References:  Listen to the Worldly episode about the Covid-19 crisis in India. Recode’s Shirin Ghaffary also wrote about the social media censorship.  Enjoyed this episode?
