This is the best summary I could come up with:
YouTube is blocking access in India to a story by CBC’s The Fifth Estate on the alleged contract killing of a Canadian Sikh separatist after the Indian government ordered the social media platform to take that action.
The Fifth Estate story released on Friday included video of the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar last June as he left his place of worship in Surrey, B.C.
In an email to CBC on Wednesday, YouTube said it had received an order from India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to block access to the video of the story from its website.
In emails from YouTube and X to CBC, the platforms said the Indian government was citing the country’s Information Technology Act 2000 in making the orders.
According to one section of that act, the government has the power to “intercept, monitor or decrypt any information generated, transmitted, received or stored in any computer resource.”
The Fifth Estate story that aired last week included video that showed Nijjar, the president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, leaving the parking lot of his place of worship in Surrey on the evening of June 18, 2023, in his grey Dodge Ram pickup truck.
