Govt sanctions prosecution of Google, Facebook over objectionable material

NEW DELHI: A day after Delhi high court warned social websites to devise mechanism to check and remove objectionable content or face action like in China, there was more trouble for them.
The government on Friday told a Delhi trial court that there is sufficient material to proceed against 21 social networking sites for offences of promoting enmity between classes and causing prejudice to national integration.

"The sanctioning authority has personally gone through the entire records and materials produced before him and after considering and examining the same, he is satisfied that there is sufficient material to proceed against the accused persons under section 153-A, 153-B and 295-A of the IPC," the Centre said in its report placed before Metropolitan Magistrate Sudesh Kumar.

The list includes Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

Have the courts started taking inspiration from totalitarian regimes ? What next ? A bullet in the head in front of a stadium full of people ?

The tyranny began the day explicit enumeration of RKBA was removed from the draft Constitution and was confirmed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. This is just the logical out come and symptom of it.

Moreover the judiciary in India usually behaves like a rubber stamp or yes man of the ruling dispensation. Recently the Delhi High Court has sent a businessman to two weeks of "mental treatment" on Wednesday for recording court proceedings in his mini tape recorder because such step by any citizen may record the corrupt malpractices in court.

Have they forgotten that Google has office's in India.Do they have any idea how much this is going to hurt our image worldwide since we blow the trumpet of
"Biggest Democracy in the World"
"Unity in Diversity,Equality to all"

My advice rather than the learning from the Chinese example first take care of the Chinese Army incursions in Indian territory and do something about Afzal guru and Ajmal Kasab,just because Law Abiding people are powerless doesn't mean you can keep toying with them.

What else now??
