When: Over the past year, but the removal that prompted the article occurred recently.

Where: India and the US, where many sites are based.

Why: India has more strict laws regarding online content than the US. Content offensive to religious or social groups is not permitted. The laws require sites to abide by the country’s guidelines, prompting the recent removal of content.
