This has actually become a David vs Goliath situation. Pradeep Poonia has been at the forefront fighting this curbing of free speech and abuse of content moderation. They've started a subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/whiteHatSr) and numerous channels on YouTube to spread awareness but most things keep getting taken down.

The main issue is that these people are promoting coding for kids aged 6-12 to be a silver bullet that'll land them Rs. 150,000,000 salaries. Gullible parents are shelling out $1000 for very basic classes in scratch. And FOMO is being used to drive this.

Exactly, why bet on your child's future. Maybe whatever the trend is around then costs equivalent amount of money that you need to pay for college now.

Also, as far as other professions which require licenses are concerned, you'll always have to go through some institution to do that job, lawyers, civil engineers, doctors, etc.
