Kapil Sibal asked to social networking sites like Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft to monitor the content which are controversial or contain any kind of information about our politicians.
Indian Cyber Officer said that "it's very hard to monitor that type of contents because still there is not such kind of technology which keep tracks of this kind of information."
Isn't that crazy? Now our government is trying to pulling the open rights of internet world. According to Google policy any one can write or post any kind of content which is not illegal according to the local law and which doesn't violates the Google's policies.
Internet is the only world where you can share your thought or feelings about our politician to the world, but Indian government trying to stop us by spreading information about our own country. Mr. Sibal called a press conference just after released of unofficial pictures of congress minister Mrs Sonia Gandhi and prime minister Mr. Manmohan Singh on net.
Several social networking sites gave their reactions: according to Facebook, "We recognize the government interest in minimizing the amount of abusive content that is available online and will continue to engage with the
Indian authorities as they debate this important issue."
Google said that "when the content is illegal it abides by the local law, we removes it. And even where the content is legal but violates our terms and conditions, we take that down too, once we have been notified. However, if the content is legal and does not violates its policies, we will not remove just because of controversial."
Censorship on internet world is the craziest thing we ever heard. So now the thing is that how IS IT POSSIBLE?
