Anti-Hindu bias and Facebook

Anti-Hinduism is a negative perception or religious intolerance against the practice and practitioners of Hinduism.

This could be a case where Western companies go into an Asian (or Latin American or African) country, become the de facto platform for speech, then start censoring the people they disagree with in order to change the political order. Regime change is a political tactic used in the past decades in Latin America, Libya, and elsewhere. This is the opposite of freedom of speech. It is allowing a foreign entity to censor your public conversation as in the British Raj.
