    The real sollution is to lock India off the internet until they crack down on all their scammers.

      There are scammer call centers in many countries throughout the world. So unless you want to start shutting off a lot of developing nations from the internet, that’s not a good solution.

      It’s also not a good solution because there will always be a workaround.

        I have to say some countries are really heavy on this. Myanmar and some provinces in India. Usually it’s corrupt governments profiting from the scams so they turn a blind eye.

        There should be more international pressure on this. Geoblocks won’t help because they’ll just proxy. But completely withholding development aid until they stop their crimes will.

        Also putting the top figures on international ban lists of course.

        I basically never watch Youtube, its kind of cancer and Google is a spyware company.

        And this isn’t about race, its about a country cleaning up its own act. I feel basically the same way about Russia, for example. There isn’t an online servixe or system that sould not drasticly improve if Russians were blocked from the larger web. Its basically a factory for misinformation and assholes.

          Yes, there are many problematic states, probably all of them. That’s why people thought it was sus when you singled out india.

          My advice: Download a geo-IP database and firewall yourself in.
