🚨 ATTENTION! People are mistranslating what I said!
I NEVER said people should block far-right accounts. I said they should IGNORE THEIR POSTS!
Blocking actually works against this strategy because the algorithm will understand that you didn’t see the content simply because you blocked the account.
However, when a post appears in your feed and you ignore it, you don’t read it, don’t like it, don’t comment on it, or engage with it in any way , the algorithm will interpret that content as irrelevant because it was shown to you and you chose not to engage with it!
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLOCKING CONTENT AND IGNORING IT!

India’s gaming boom faces funding, talent, monetisation hurdles: GDAI report dtnext.in/news/national/indi…
I have recieved 2x ₹10,000 challans for my vehicle while puc was valid.
पिछले कुछ समय से मुझे लगभग हर हफ्ते, कभी-कभी तो हर दिन, ट्रैफिक चालान मिल रहे हैं। हर बार ₹300 का चालान देखकर मैं सोचती हूँ कि आखिर मुझसे गलती कहाँ हो रही है, क्योंकि मुझे पूरा विश्वास है कि मैं ट्रैफिक नियमों का पालन करते हुए गाड़ी चलाती हूँ।
लेकिन आज तो हैरानी की बात हो गई! आज मैं अपनी गाड़ी लेकर घर से बाहर तक नहीं निकली और फिर भी चालान आ गया।
मैं दिल्ली ट्रैफिक पुलिस से विनम्र अनुरोध करती हूँ कि कृपया इस मामले की जाँच करें। कहीं यह किसी तरह की तकनीकी गड़बड़ी, गलत चालान या किसी प्रकार की धोखाधड़ी का मामला तो नहीं है?
मैं नियमों का सम्मान करती हूँ और उनका पालन भी करना चाहती हूँ, लेकिन बिना गलती के बार-बार चालान मिलना चिंता का विषय है।
कृपया जाँच करके स्थिति स्पष्ट करें, ताकि सच्चाई सामने आ सके।

When you shut down your @reliancejio postpaid, they ask you for an account # with jio number to refund the security deposit. This account number is not visible on the bills they send and as you've shut down number you cannot login to My Jio app. #darkpattern
This is great news, I have been a victim of the same kind of rowdy's on Sunday morning. I hope the accused gets maximum punishment as a deterrent.

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed to show the previous evening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

Two hallmarks of Indian regulations in one place:
1. Can’t catch the people creating problems - let’s create pain for everyone. Why try to catch 1% when you can create the pain for 100%
2. More paperwork solves everything for the bureaucrats- it not really a solution but at least it’s not their problem anymore. Look at the problem that @rameshsrivats is talking about. RBI will say we published everything months ago, HDFC will say employee needs more training and that the software services company made an error, company will say this clarification is in their pipeline of fixes and that the clarification came too late, etc etc. A full round robin of finger pointing and no one who is responsible.
I am sure this behavior takes off a few bips off India’s GDP growth rate but that is problem for another ministry/department!
The EDF (Export Declaration Form) rules are now in effect, and it seems like RBI and banks have conspired to create a new hell. Or actually 5 hells.
I consult for an American company. Raised October invoice. Received the Inward remittance. And bang! Mail from @HDFC_Bank detailing everything needed before the payment can be processed.
Let me tell you what the 5 hells are:
1. The hell of confusion – RBI clarified last month that the EDF rules do not apply to individuals. But looks like they haven’t told the banks. And CAs also don’t seem to know. There’s no official communication on who is exempt. Last I checked, I was an individual. No company, no LLP. But HDFC still wants me to file the EDF to credit my payment.
2. The hell of complexity – See the attached pic of the form the bank has sent in excel. It has 5 sheets. To be filled and submitted. Some abstruse acronyms like “AD” - no clue what it means. Some fields are mandatory. Some fields are to be filled by the bank. No idea which is what. And it needs a physical signature. Which leads to...
3. The hell of paperwork - They also sent a pdf with a bunch of request letters. I’m supposed to choose the right letter, print, sign, scan and submit. Creating more paper today is incredibly silly. And, I suppose, someone in the bank will have to upload all this somewhere. Reminds me of those hand-filled immigration forms. Pointless.
4. The hell of repetition – At least for me, most of the details are constant. One client, one payment. If it’s a one-time exercise, fine. I’ll grit my teeth and get it done. But no. These details have to be given month after month. Else… no payment will be credited.
5. The hell of unpreparedness – It would have been simple enough for RBI or HDFC to create an online portal for this. With dropdowns, saved formats, contextual help, etc. to at least make this easy. But that would be too convenient, no? So, they’ve chosen to dump the entire burden on the taxpayer.
I have no opinion or understanding of why this is needed. Maybe it is critical information. Okay! But why make the process so confusing and painful?
And poor communication has meant that the banks have just passed on the pain to the exporter, and even CAs can’t help.
Basically RBI & HDFC feel I should consult less, and comply more. Maybe my client will also agree :)

Why are Indian VCs so afraid to take risk and make money?
Someone should go to India and take risk and make money.

Even with a huge haircut in the GST demands for RMG companies it will ensure they will be insolvent. It was heartbreaking to hear of Junglee Games shutting down recently and now am hearing that non RMG companies also getting notices from GST department.

When Police Act As Magistrate : The Bizarre Case Of Special Executive Magistrates |@manuvichar
If the roles of investigator, prosecutor, and adjudicator are blended in a single agency, can the process be considered fair, independent, and reasonable?

Very troubling, imagine entire country is looking and this is happening. What if you're a nobody, you can be in jain indefinitely without trial.
Important:
Here’s something that a LOT of people don’t know about what’s actually going on with Delhi Police.
CJP’s Saurav Das & Ashutosh Ranka have been sent to 2 more days of judicial custody in Tihar Jail.
By a judicial court? NO.
They have been kept in Tihar Jail for the last 6 days on the order of a Special Executive Magistrate (SEM).
Who is an SEM? He is an ACP-rank (junior) police officer of Delhi Police appointed by the state govt.
Therefore, Delhi Police arrested Saurav & Ashutosh & now a Delhi Police ACP (acting as SEM) is keeping them in jail.
There’s no FIR against them. There’s also no judicial order.
Delhi Police are the accusers & well as the judge when it comes to keeping them in jail.
That’s how messed up it is.

अल्बानिया में लोगों ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट को जला दिया। सुप्रीम कोर्ट प्रधानमंत्री की मदद कर रहा था, जिससे लोग भड़क गए थे। प्रदर्शनकारियों ने संसद और शिक्षा विभाग पर भी हमले किए हैं।
तमाम देशों को इन घटनाओं से सबक़ लेना चाहिए।
