Looks like India is using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Regardless of what we think about terrorism, disabling access to entire sites companies rely on for their daily operation is simply careless.
As noted by other commented they didn't even try to resolve the situation but rather went the route of blindly blocking access.
This is a huge red flag, in my opinion, that the Internet as we know is has reached a big fork in the road and where we go from here will do are if our future will look like Biff's world in Back to the Future II or not...
