With manifest v2, the extension could dynamically intercept requests and block them based on a custom rule.

With v3, extensions have to predefine the rules for blocking. Which is the limiting factor

> I think Microsoft has put Sony in an impossible spot and, with the Activision merger about to go through

MS is being accused that they cant innovate themselves and have to buy other companies for their innovative product. This acquisition is just supporting that claim.

Its absurd to claim that nothing was done to stop it from happening, if that was the case then thing would have been much worse. It was brought under control as effectively as it is possible when the riots are happening at communal level.

Have you not seen riots happen in London few years ago, or the black lives matter, or so many others in the past. To use you own argument, why did they not stop it immediately? Because it takes some time and effort to control it when large populations are involved.

And nobody is asking to cover all the history, Nuance can be covered with small hints and by giving little bit of background. Otherwise People who dont know India's history only see what they see in the documentary and go on making up their mind.

Plus BBC is funded by UK government's so its essentially a mouthpiece for them. So Independent journalism is not really expected from them anyways.

If you keep calling historical facts as absurdity then there's nothing to debate here

Like i said, any credible source for what you are claiming?
sjnonweb··on Tax raids at BBC offices in India enter second day
Well two things!

1. BBC was sent a notice for tax evasion 2 months before this documentary was released - the fact that they are being raided now could be a reaction to the doc or maybe just a coincidence. No org is above the law, so being raided for tax evasion is business as usual.

2. The documentary doesn't cover the reason as to why the riots happened, it'll take nuance and understanding of the past 800 years history of islamic invasions to realise that it was not a one off incident.

Well its bound to happens when the said news outlet forgets to show the other side of the story, selectively missing on the nuance. I'm no fan of Modi, No fan of half truths either.

I'm just citing one example from the many. India as an entity has been dissolved and established multiples times in the history. British came at the weak period of India, essentially during a long civil war that was going on across the whole subcontinent.

When you choose to show only one side of the story then it fails to be categorised as criticism, its called propaganda.

Pseudo Historian so good that he cooked up all the ancient texts, ashoka pillar, coinage, stupa, architectural remains, etc right?

Anyways! Can you cite a non-pseudo source for you claims?

You need to read a little more history then! India's history goes much further than that. Read up on The Maurya Empire

I dont think you understand anything about what you just said.

Are you Indian, NRI or Someone from west learning about India from the western press?

Edit: You also mentioned that Dalit experience worse discrimination in US than in India! Where did you get that from? I'd just like to understand your overall point of view.
