Google, Facebook Fight Indian Censorship Demands

the high court judge told the companies at a hearing earlier this week that they must find a way to monitor and delete offensive content, or India could go the way of China and start blocking entire websites more actively

No, no, no, no! Have the judges forgotten that India is a DEMOCRACY! One of the things that makes India a great example of how a modern democracy can survive is the ease with which individuals can protest against unfair policies. 

It’s time for everyone to protest this ludicrous pronouncement by the New Delhi judges. Censoring online content is a violation of every Indian’s fundamental right to free speech, a right enshrined by the Constitution.
