For context: (not sure if this is right, just something I heard somewhere) the VLC website was banned because some people were distributing versions of VLC that included malware (not through the official VLC website, but through other websites), and for some reason instead of banning those unofficial websites they banned the official website

(conspiracy mode on:) Maybe the version with malware is linked to some high-earning scam company located in India

Supposedly it was linked to Chinese hackers. To my knowledge, India has never explained the ban so we can't be sure.

>some reason instead

As with all things follow the money

Ask why would the scam capital of the world banned the legit site.

I thought only Reddit had excessive racism.

A comment so absurd it's not worth debating

[gautamdivgi]

Blatantly racist and bigoted statement. Really has no place on HN. Probably a troll.

Sounds like a good idea when you need to disseminate state trojans
