india π AAP's two faces: Censorship in Delhi vs Punjab
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is accused of using copyright claims to silence critical media in Punjab. Between January and April 2026, four Facebook pages critical of the AAP government were taken down using copyright infringement notices. AAP, which often accuses others of media control, used this tactic against local journalists in Punjab. The affected pages, which had over 30 lakh followers, were eventually restored after intervention by The Reportersβ Collective. Experts suggest this marks a significant use of copyright for censorship by a political party in India. π
