I am following this matter on the news also i watched an interview of kapil sibal in NDTV(Devils Advocate) on the same issue so according to him he saw so objectionable material in the social networking sites and called all the companies arranged a meeting 3 months back and he explained the situation to them and wanted to take those material off the internet. the companies did not respond well and he made this issue public and is going to take action in the near future. Meanwhile the companies stated that "they are ready to take down any material that is objectionable but they will not take down matter that is controversial ".

Epic fail no 1 :- the indian media hyped this matter and showed it like the internet will be censored like in china and egypt .

Epic fail no 2:- The leaders that have no clue how the internet works making funny statements over the media.

Their own website hacked ..hehehe.....http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...sg=AFQjCNFWs7ox5gjHQbj2lZ-4BLecmEiL4A&cad=rja
 
Kapil Sibal is proving himself to be a buffoon by pursuing issues on behalf of govt.

First it was his idiotic comments during Anna's campaign, and now he has proved his consistency with this. Has gone senile.

And the best part was the USA's reaction to this. They thought we would, apparently, clinton thought so. First they need to clean their arse with the upcoming protect IP and SOPA act.

You did forget the dumb-**sary he did when he went on quote "Raja sold 2G waves judiciously and correctly".

Anyways, he has again gone on quote to say that they will implement a system to monitor content on Twitter/Facebook/U-Tube. And if SPs cannot aid them here, they will be held to forfeit AND the government is developing a mechanism (technical platform) which will make the vigilance possible. And also, that this platform will be show-cased soon.

Apparently, Google has reported that they get umpteen requests from the government to remove content pertinent to ministers. It is quite obvious that these people do not want their images tarnished via the www. With the mother-of-all-polls, UP, around the corner, YOU-PAY-A$$ (UPA) does not want to take any risks, as it is their coalition is on teether hooks with the tail (BSP and Trinamool and DMK) wagging the dog ----> UPA. This just seems like a politician appeasement drive vs. actually what they say it is.
 
@OP: How did you post that without getting hit by the Kapil Filter version 0.1 pre-alpha

Unfortunately couldn't see the whole interview but he must be mixing words as usual.

To be honest, i got so bored and jaded with all these scams that i have stopped reading about the political turmoil.

No wonder the educated and smart Indians have been shifting to other countries. Today some ghooskhor lady will be implicated in Taj corridor scam, tomorrow the files will be pushed further down the stack cuz govt needs to save its skin. And following day there will be talks of the despicable lady being nominated for the post of PM.

If not her, another old timer will be in his full flow and teary self when others eulogize and call him PM material.. all cuz it was his 'desire' to be PM, his hands and neck drenched with demolition of a religious structure be damned.

And on top of all this we have people from Dinosaur's era - Mr Sibal blabbering like a drama queen.

Who has the time to keep with these people who ll claim: 'i been misquoted'. 'u took it out of context' ??

someone should inform them that the most tarnishing of their images is done by themselves only.

they and their own biradari are the reason for their bad image and the slap-happy citizenry

Actually, He alongwith with Diggu are like Dogs people keep to Mrs. G. Whenever She/INC need to attack somebody, they let loose this two and both go over the top doing it. Rahullbaba will be kept out of al of these and will do only positive PR dos. Kapil and Diggu are just lame, pet dogs, doing anything to get 'Goodboy' and a buiscuit from Mrs. G.:no:
 
I think this whole scenario is hilarious.First, some moron who hasn't got a single clue about internet talks about censoring it.Then, media people who hasn't got a single clue about internet blows this issue to gigantic proportion.Give me a break.Even if they implement censorship, their systems will be hacked within 24 hours.Netizens supporting Anna's movement has scared them witless.
 
shared it on other thread. time to spam i guess :P

my first reaction to this was 'how can someone censor such large data without slowing down the sites ? Even if they succeeded in that, what are they going to censor? And computers dont have brains that can decide what is objectionable or not.

You cynic :P
 
^^ sceptics, cynics, leftists, _ists, _ists, _isms... make fences and people will turn into sheep ?

there are problems... and a whole lot of them... just because those on whom we put trust didn't live up to it.
a new election comes, people selects a new party /leader. the cycle repeats.

There needs to be a change in the system. just blaming politicians, many those puppets to to-the-core materialistic interests are never going to help in future. which ever party it is.

Now, I will not blame Kapil Sibal in this case at least. He should have been more clear and presice, thats another matter.

USA and many other countries are taking similar and more serious steps on their populations. Why can't India do the same ?
 
from the interview

the content that we really objected to was the content that would impact religious sentiments in India, no matter to what religion you belong - Hindu, Islam, Christianity.

Was it about atheism by any chance?

Kapil Sibal: Way back on the September 5 we raised this issue and we circulated some of the content that was blasphemous, that you mentioned, and demeaning. They agreed with it and we said lets start a dialogue and come back to us within four weeks.

India is secular, why is he worried about blasphemy?

While we go to court outside our jurisdiction to prosecute, this content will be on website. It will have caused damaged and the kind of damage that you and I can't even imagine and even if I were to do that what would be the impact of that after 10 years. I want the solution today as it happened as the content is uploaded.

An image can cause unimaginable damage? O_O
 
Oh , he dont know the extent of damage that can be done using internet. As i read somewhere earlier the indian government websites are the easiest to hack.
I think the reason for not hacking is that the hackers did not want to waste their time on such crap.
 
My facebook account was blocked yesterday for objectionable content for my region??

My content was :

Display picture : SS insignia :cool2:

Political Views : Nazionalista

The above two values were removed, now I'm back on with an Iron Cross and Nationalist Socialist(political view) :) , those m*f*s banning stuff all of a sudden can kiss my a** .

They are abusing their authority blindly because that seems to be the easiest way to do damage control in India.
