This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 44%. (I'm a bot)
> The Internet Archive has taken down a widely circulated upload of the first episode of the BBC's The Modi Question, the documentary that questions Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership during the 2002 Gujarat Muslim genocide.
> The Internet Archive has emerged as one of the primary sources where the documentary has been shared for viewing by Indian users after multiple YouTube videos and more than a hundred tweets with links to the YouTube videos were ordered to be taken down by the Union government.
> The two-part BBC documentary cited a previously classified British foreign ministry report saying that Modi met senior police officers and "Ordered them not to intervene" in the attacks on Muslims that followed.

I’ll be releasing the documentary to a server that will be forwarding this documentary nonstop around the world to organizations for a period of 2 years.
Good luck.

Yes and no.
The Archive is very responsive to content owners requesting that their property is removed from the site (either by sending a request to The Archive or by modifying their own robots.txt; the Wayback Machine checks the live robots.txt before serving up old content and uses it as a filter).
On the other hand, there's no law forbidding companies or individuals from keeping a local-only copy of others' IP for non-public use, so IA doesn't actually delete content. They "darken" it instead, which means it's still in the data cluster back-end but inaccessible from the outside.

Next Modi will be calling the BBC over and over again if they want to renew their car warranty.

Is that a service that’s offered or do you do the coding yourself? So many wannabe activists just talking and doing nothing, it’s good to see you actually doing something.

It's still archived, just not publicly visible.

Well the people are thinking individuals and can make the decision what to follow and believe. Stop banning anything.

I don't disagree with you. The documentary should not have been blocked in India but then again the UK and US got away with doing the same thing with Russian media. The hypocrisy is enraging.

Is it only available through normal and easily accessible websites if you're in the UK? I understand that India asked websites to take it down but does that affect access in other countries like the United States too?

will this take down help qualify the popularity of this Modi Doc as a victim of the Streissand effect?^(wiki)
GlasNomad t1_j5u0e29 wrote
taxpayer funded, doubt they'll take it down. it's as easy as picking a random postcode and basically has an honor system asking if you have a tv license (which of course we all do right?)

only 2 episodes are gonna come out or are there more?

The BBC is fairly protective of all of their IP regardless of what it is? I'm not sure the Internet Archive can store for a long time BBC documentaries about anything even if they are made by Sir David Attenborough about nature.
