Found a stat that 73% of online news articles in India get edited or deleted within 48 hours of going live

I stumbled on that number from a freedom of press report last month and it made me wonder if we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg or if that's actually normal elsewhere too, what do you think?

Are they getting edited for errors or something sketchier?

Doubt it's anything sketchy, probably just a normal edit.

Totally agree with @riverhill, people see a shadow and think it's a conspiracy. I've had plenty of my own posts edited for stupid little typos and it's always nothing.
