internetfreedom.in Donate to Internet Freedom Foundation We fight for the digital rights of every Indian, but we can’t do it alone—donate today. This Diwali, I would strongly recommend that when you're considering giving, please consider giving to organisations like @internetfreedom and @SFLCin (and I'd add supporting @medianama as well. though we don't take donations), because the work we all do helps protect our freedoms online, especially in an environment in India that is negatively impacting free speech, privacy, and the ease of doing business online.View quoted post on X
