Internet Filter



The Communications & IT ministry wants to muzzle  social media sites now .Social media platforms are being asked to censor whatever politicians deem objectionable and too offensive for the Internet.Right....


As if whatever the Indian media shows us is not edited enough ! 

Although India is  world’s largest democracy , they are asking Facebook,Twitter etc to help them filter the Internet because the country has several religions and faiths.

Btw isn't Internet the most democratic medium out there???

They say that what might seem humorous to someone can be really offensive to another and they want to avoid further incidents of communities taking to the streets and vandalizing public property.   Huh ?  


They also say that satirical representations of public figures are acceptable, but they should not disturb the communal harmony. They showed company executives derogatory images oand altered pictures of Politicians that appeared on their platforms. They argue that these images would offend “any reasonable person.”   Right......

Public Service Announcement : "You have just been Chinized!"


Please feel free to edit this !

Just when you think things cannot get any worse than this, such statements prove you wrong.
Who is to decide what is objectionable and what is not- is a question waiting to be answered.
