I am not against Mr. Sibals ideas but practically it is not possible to screen every content on the social networking sites / or internet websites / blogs / etc.

But still we need a solution to this................... KILL the makers of PHOTOSHOP !! :grin: :grin:

Sibbal is saying that offensive content should not float on the social media sites but why people are sharing that content should also be noticed.

Well he had the choice of asking all politicians to stop corruption or have every comment on the Indian subcontinent monitored, reviewed and then posted. I don't blame him. He chose the easier one.

Someone can't handle the internet. I suggest he takes a few tips from Justin Bieber. Worst still all he did to be hated so much was "sing". :-D

It was Ok when SIbal asked sites to put down objectionable content invloving politicians. But Goverment wanting to screen content themselves to suit 'indian community standards' , maybe going over the line :|

We are all entitled to Freedom of speech. Whatever is posted online is nothing more than people expressing themselves. If some of it is true, such as cartoons regarding fuel hike, etc. then I say it better stay. Besides, newspapers carry satirical cartoons all the time.

Are we in China ?

Looks this is China's invasion plan :p
