BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

India's government is not the focus of the articles, which instead detail the French legislative calendar without exploring potential implications for Indian regulation

New Delhi's reactions receive limited coverage, with no official response from the Indian government or local associations reported on this law

The Indian capital's perspective is overshadowed by a preference for European institutional sources, such as ministers and the Commission, over the voices of platforms or digital freedom advocacy groups
