John Oliver takes rumour mongering to the international circles, peddles fake narrative of minority persecution, RSS, NRC and CAA, he even showed the incorrect map of India.

That may be the reason why Hotstar is playing on the safer side.

If the same is true. This violates terms of youtube. Feel free to report the video. If violation found they will take it off.

Map changes based on location, simple example is that Google maps show different borders if it is used from China, USA, etc. It's done to cooperate with government and prevent controversy. This is why Sometimes problems arise on globally watched shows.

I agree with you on that. I once had a Twitter and YouTube war about Indian map which was wrongfully showen. The problem with that was the video was about India. Our neighbouring countries won't accept the reality on the disputed of the areas. Finding Indians naive foreign media shows incorrect maps. Pleasing the intolerable nations like China and Pakistan. Which they seriously shouldn't.

IMHO no one should take these English shows seriously. All they do is follow Victor's justice theory. Means US, UK show will show Nazi Germany and Russia is bad. While they will completely ignore their own deeds on other which is worse than what Germany and Russia etc did. So people should just laugh and ignore. No need to censor anything. Just put that disclaimer and good to go. Chill😀
 
Last Week Tonight season 7, episode 2 not available on Hotstar. In response, Android users left 1-star reviews for the Hotstar app. Hotstar has not issued a response on why the episode is missing

Hotstar Gets 1-Star Reviews for Pro-Government Censorship of John Oliver
Best part about all this is. Most of the reviews highlighting about poor streaming experience on Hotstar. Hopefully, those reviews doesn't get ignored as IPL is happening soon. Morally they might be wrong yesterday for not uploading Last Week Tonight's episode. But as a streaming provider they have always been wrong. Their motto always seemed more quantity less quality to me.
