    I wonder if people would have the same reaction if the person in question was a known Islamic Terrorist. If there were Facebook groups praising the legacy of Osama Bin Laden, would Meta be then justified to carry out similar censorship?

      This guy isn’t a terrorist, or at least is not demonstrably so.

      His only crime is wanting to create a place for Sikhs. Maybe he uses violence but I don’t see that in a Google search.

      Besides which, if india had credible evidence he was a terrorist…. Chances are solid that he’d have been extradited long before now. It sounds like he wasn’t actually a citizen, but a refugee
