1. This recent episode wasn’t even that tell-all. His original coverage of modi was more spot on. But if this raises more awareness about the nutty situation on ground there, more props to him.

2. > Disney-owned Hotstar, India’s largest on-demand video streaming service with more than 300 million users, has blocked the newest episode of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”

   The title didn’t make sense to me since HBO is owned by AT&T not Disney. It’s a Disney subsidiary in India blocking the show…. in India

3. A giant corporation prioritizing profits over human life and the free flow of information?

   Wow, never suspected this might happen. /s

4. Not surprised to also hear that Disney+ is collapsing, maybe they shouldn’t muzzle people.

5. Even England censors John Oliver when it discusses their parliament

6. There are rumors of Disney looking at opening a theme park in India. Key executives have made several trips there. Makes you wonder.

7. John Oliver is on HBO, which is owned by AT&T. Where does Disney fit in?

8. [Here’s a guardian article about that answers the “why?”.](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/jul/31/jon-stewart-parliament-broadcast-satire)

9. Free speech is bad for profits!! Garsh!

10. Bad title is bad

11. Watched it on YouTube

12. Because now NOBODY will want to see it /s

13. Censorship, taking down free speech, with big white gloves.

14. It’s on Youtube, it’s still out there. Disney is trying to censor something they have no control of.

15. Fuck Disney and their FASCIST POLITICS AND POLICIES!

16. Disney bad
