This story leaves me feeling helpless. What can I, living in the United States, do to change this statement:<p><pre><code> In reality, [Section 66A of the IT Act of 2000] is more often used by
the state as a weapon against dissent. In each such case, police action
has been swift and harsh.

I'd love it if someone would comment, or better, write a blog posting with a list of actionable steps that I can take to improve things.
The same thing happened here in Bolivia.<p>Samuel Doria Medina, tweeted that President Evo Morales had sex with a minor (17 years old) and she was pregnant. The following day the mother of the minor (a political person of power in Evo's cabinet) files for jail time among other things.<p>This was about two months ago and to be honest, media died down on it, and I have no idea what happened to the process. Was she in fact pregnant? Was the president in fact involved sexually with a minor? Lots of questions, no answers.
Unfortunate, but real state of affairs in the so called "India Shining" story! Corruption is ingrained in public and private offices. And my biggest concern is that it's become a way of life and people are indifferent to it.
Things like this one happened several times in Bangladesh. The government imprisoned several people over time for posting statuses against the prime minister on Facebook.
