What happened

The Ministry of Electronics and IT has upgraded its 'Digital India' vision to 'Deleted India.' Social media platforms now have a strict 180-minute window to scrub 'unlawful' content, which includes anything from national security threats to a poorly timed emoji near a photo of a pothole. Experts suggest that if the government worked this fast on bridge maintenance, the nation's infrastructure might still be standing, but prioritizing the removal of satirical cartoons is considered a more 'structurally sound' policy for maintaining public order.
