Censorship – Social Media

The Instagram account of The Savala Vada, a satirical meme page with over eighty thousand followers known for its sardonic, dark humour and sarcastic critiques of the Union government, has been withheld in India.

“Sup we just got banned from the world’s largest democracy,” The Savala Vada wrote on X, with hashtags #MotherOfDemocracy, #NotSatire and #SavalaVadaFried.

The Savala Vada, which has around 85,000 followers, is run by a Kerala-based 22-year-old creator who leads a small team of twenty-something university students, according to reports.
