No, it's an India problem. Insamuch as Facebook or capitalism is even at fault, it's specifically because they're either willing to comply with, or have been duped into complying with, India's attempts at censorship.
The fact that BC Sikhs was eventually uncensored would indicate the latter, but India knows that they can try again, because...
- Companies like Facebook are big, monopolistic platforms, which mean they have too much content and not enough moderators, so they have a 'shoot first, ask questions later' mentality
- India holds some Facebook employees hostage. This is part of their law, you can't run a social media network there without domestic employees, and those employees effectively become agents of India with stiff penalties for noncompliance.
The fault Facebook and other capitalists have is not immediately NOPEing out of the Indian market. They left themselves open to being used as a censorship tool by powerful-enough governments.
Could you expand a big on why Facebook is unfettered capitalist? For a while there the US president administration was communicating directly with facebook execs "flagging" posts that they wanted taken down, and demanding answers why certain posts were still up. That doesn't sound unfettered to me
