Missing article was here It didn't contain much other than dates it was filed and plaintiffs information. Which is a standard practice anywhere.

In July 2024, ANI filed a lawsuit against Wikimedia Foundation in the Delhi High Court — claiming to have been defamed in its article on Wikipedia — and sought ₹2 crore (US$240,000) in damages.[14][15][16] At the time of the suit's filing, the Wikipedia article about ANI said the news agency had, "been accused of having served as a propaganda tool for the incumbent central government, distributing materials from a vast network of fake news websites, and misreporting events on multiple occasions". The filing accused Wikipedia of publishing, "false and defamatory content with the malicious intent of tarnishing the news agency's reputation, and aimed to discredit its goodwill".[17][14][18][19]

The article is still up, Wikipedia calling ANI biased, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_News_International

So not really sure, why the massive outrage. Removing intricate details from ongoing lawsuits is standard practice.

While the lawsuit by ANI demands that editors who made the edit claiming ANI as govt mouth piece be identified, Wikipedia hasn't done it yet and the article is right about setting a dangerous precedent if high court forces Wikipedia to reveal the names. But at the same time article is biased and has misleading information such as > In an unprecedented move, Wikipedia removed the page from its platform on October 21.>

You can see some well noted examples of articles being removed before from Wikipedia here . So there is clearly precedent for removal of articles. I used love vox a decade ago, but now I see these half truths/partial stories are a commonplace and I'm happy to have ditched vox now.

Yeah, you are very recognisable, but people like me, who lurk most of the time, comment maybe once a month.

Not very memorable.

I was confused for a second what does 8AM have to do with a headless creature, before I figured out what it means.

Probably more like, scamming centers are mostly focused on foreigners (from Indian pov), so that's ok.

I read through a play store about app, they never mention it's end to end encrypted. So potentially they read everything including passwords and other personal info, probably sell it to be fed it to some AI model while also building a very nice advertisement I'd for you.

Assuming you are in India, what's wrong with WhatsApp? I seem to remember every tom, dick and Harry uses WhatsApp. I'm not a Facebook fan and not advocating that whatsapp is best, just if you have to spill your beans, better to do them only to one company is my thought direction.

Wanted a game, back then wasn't available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would've convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.
