Great reporting. Also interesting in this context is this recent Wired article titled "India’s Government Wants Total Control of the Internet":

You might even say that this incident is notable. Smallbones(smalltalk) 16:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And in video.
There are now 2 videos on this article. It's rather strange seeing a video in Hindi going over my work almost word by word. It's very clear that the two words they are most interested in are "sockpuppet" and "puffery". See
Hey @Smallbones It bothers me that you say Adani manipulated all the mentioned pages although only one user Satyam Trivedi was unmistakably (by his/her own admission) identified as an Adani staffer in 2013. Pardon my ignorance here but how do we know for a fact that everyone else was working for Adani? Manatpeace (talk) 18:29, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
