Just my two cents: This is the Indian government trying to reduce the spread of information that is non-conducive to national interests.
However, OSM can dispute that our freedom of speech is being restrained. The honest counter to that is that we are entitled to freedom of speech and opinion, but also to bear the consequences of what we say. If what we maintain as a divisive opinion to national interests regardless of who is in government, it puts us in a tricky place.. Ergo: Google shows India oriented maps for requests from Indian IPs and China oriented maps for Chinese IPs. Where does that leave us? OSM is apolitical by nature and intends to stay that way. So from the government's perspective, the collective opinion of a group of Indian and non Indian geography publishers (OSM) does tantamount as being non conducive to national interests. I think this leaves us in a position where we would be open for litigation. Any thoughts?
