Here s why supporters of farmers in India protested at Vancouver s Facebook offices today

Censoring of posts is “a pattern” Farmers in India are currently taking part in the largest organized protests in the world, against three farming laws passed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The farmers many of whom hail from India’s northern Punjab and Haryana states are concerned that the laws, which bring corporations into the controlled agricultural sector, will leave them at the mercy of large corporations and will lead to the ultimate loss of their land and livelihood. “I can’t stress enough that the reason the farmers’ protest has received as much attention as it has is because of social media and because of the diaspora,” Balpreet Singh, legal counsel with the World Sikh Organization told Daily Hive Vancouver.
