Asim I was responding to your line parroted by shrill for-hire activists here that protections of freedoms is more important than anything else - which was in reference to media related freedoms.
I pointed out to you that all freedom is contextual, and nothing is permanent or carved in stone.
At the end of the day the state will decide what is in the best interests of its people.
The state (in our case) is elected by the people.
If the state screws up and decides wrong, there is an opposition which is also there to represent us.
If they both screw up in representing us, which they often do, then depending to the extent of who screws up more, we elect a different state the next time around.
If the screw up is just too big to wait, we elect sooner.
Sometimes that needs us to come on to the streets and maidans as well.
Nothing you say about the responsibility of the state is wrong in itself.
But whatever action the state takes, is limited to India.
And Indians are watching and deciding.
That is all that is really at stake here.
That you are inconvenienced or under attack, should be taken up under the due cyber law process with the Indian government, as is being done by Twitter-shitter etc.
