Social Media Censorship of Canadian Sikhs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Social media companies are enforcing an Indian Law that censors social media content critical of the Indian government and its ongoing crackdown in the Punjab state.
Canadian Sikhs have found themselves in the crosshairs of this aggressive campaign of censorship, harassment, and intimidation.
The campaign has escalated on Facebook since the assassination of BC Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, which was tied to the far-right nationalist Modi government, with posts being blocked and accounts banned just for talking about it.
