RE: Spread the Happy! #ManifestChallenge Day 5
@arbitrarykitten
Sorry for not commenting from past two days as Internet was banned in my area.
@manifestchallenge going strong!!these past few days have been same for me as the first ones☺️
Ok! Good to see you're keeping up despite silly little nuisances ;)
Thank you for letting me know <3 That is very thoughtful of you.
Is your internet banned regularly? Where are you?
Internet bans happen quite often here.
I live in "Kashmir" which is a part of India.
You can google Kashmir if you don't know about it.
Thanks @arbitrarykitten
I'm familiar with Kashmir, I'm actually studying the culture :)
Why the internet bans?
Kashmir is a disputed territory.
People of kashmir want independence, so whenever there is a protest and whenever someone gets killed, internet is banned so that the news doesn't spread to the world.
I see.
That is a shame.
I think that's another good thing about Steemit- we get to talk with friends from all across the world. So when things happen some people will know about them...
Yes of course.
Mass adoption of steemit would promote such things and bring these issues to everybody's notice
Agreed.
I'm a former news journalist from a very large (worldwide) network, so I know how stuff just sortof... doesn't get to the people... If you know what I mean...
I get my news now from talking with friends like you, people actually living it firsthand...
Like Venezuela? It's so very bad there. We don't know the extent unless we have a friend there...
Agreed.
I know about Vanezuela, it is indeed very bad there and the recent one like Rohingya in Myanmar.
You ought to have some source in these regions otherwise you don't get to the bottom of it.
