This is a comment on the rest of the article which reiterates the other 
side of their split personality.

Note the wording about multilateral and focus on cybersecurity cooperation 
above and beyond the existing setup (in other words for cases where the 
information sought is about an account whose actions would be protected 
under the first amendment but not under indian laws governing free speech)

This isn't going to go too well despite the reuse of the term that I heard 
minister Sibal use in a rather different context.
