    When someone like the UNHCHR points out that free speech is important even when it is false speech (need to protect satire, who decides veracity, judgment of intentionality, etc.), she'd be applauded. When Zuckerberg does, he gets an article like this is Wired.

    Hey NCRB. Care to release crime data? We don't have any information on the rates in the last two years. What exactly is your reason for not releasing the data? If two states have not given data, why don't you pull them up? That is not a good enough reason.

    Do read on the limits of competition law in dealing with concerns. (Though I do wish he'd explicitly dealt with competition *concerns* separately from law itself.)

    I've heard of police dogs, but these seem like police cats.

    Researchers at the University of Derby attached body cameras to cats to determine what they do all day. They discovered cats do not like body cameras.

    No two words evoke as much laughter in a political party as "data protection". 😊

    There were already 1.8 Cr BJP members in Uttar Pradesh. Now the party has identified nearly 1.3 Cr "Labharthis" and is aggressively recruiting them through membership drive. How does opposition even contemplate defeating a party that goes to election with 3 Crore plus members?!

    Trump on Iran via WHpool: “They're not going to have a nuclear weapon...When they agree to that, they're going to have a wealthy country.” 1
