Kapil Sibal aims to restrict freedom of speech on the internet!

[naveen_reloaded]

heh. i just want him to mind his own business on the forum. a lot of people are annoyed with him and his posts on the forum. they ignore the content he posts. but he would get annoyed with other people's threads and would ask for a straight deletion just because he does not like them for one reason or the other.

Playing god is never easy right ?

well i have learnt to deal with him. he needs this forum more than this forum needs him. i bet his content would not be tolerated anywhere else. (or maybe i am wrong). in any case, i am just waiting for him to confirm that he would stick to his own bullcrap and do not indulge in other people's bullcrap.

then they simply have to copy the Blacklist from china and tweak to include words like "Dog@##%" "Son@#%!@@#$" etc

Coz blocking those sites alone wont stop what govt has in mind , it needs to include all blogs which contains such stuff , which migh also include once hosted outside , so effectively we will build a firewall

Not necessarily

govt's only start having problems when something becomes mainstream

Till a few years back, the internet was used by a minority. Govt's worldwide were fine with it

Over the last year, they have been going crazy internationally

Some thing happened with international TV in India : AXN,etc were uncensored till they became mainstream channels

Once gaming becomes mainstream in India this same issue will arise

All they will be blocking in India will be mainstream stuff like FB,Twitter,etc

Even these forums are likely to remain untouched

But if they set google alerts for particular combination of words, then even Forums will start coming into limelight.

not necessarily. The framework which is about to put in place will deem a site illegal/offensive if it simply meets any of the requirement.

Its also time we look at the "religious sentiments" argument , in rural area , a single festival can last 2-3 days with blarring speakers and 4AM rituals and again blarring music .. Also what about religious proliferation in channels ? Isnt that a biased support to some group ?

As one guest in a live show told yesterday "Its time politicians develop a sense of humor"

This is what happens when politicians are exposed to internet and its sarcastic comments and photos are seen by someone from 60`s or 70`s .. They are ust like anyother moral policing group , reluctant to grow with time and technology

If this kind of mentality exist in Govt, then we can never ever expect them to start Online Election Voting system. And we can never expect the Broadband revolution in India too.This Shitbal is Telecom Minister and Govt owned BSNL website was hacked few days back. He said nothing about that but instead talking nonsense about censorship on Online Media.Day by day Congress and its ministers are showing their insanity. The day they will be thrown out of power, people will not hesitate to bash them in person.

good thing no one brought it to his notice , or else he would have cried like a baby and would have gone full swing to implement firewall similar to china.. these guys needs something to get thier thing get done.

He is out in press about some scam or some issue with 3G and now this nonsense , never seen him (like maran) talking about improving the base broadband speed.. PATHETIC !!

The very last thing congress want is, as i read in a blog : "If you think young people got pissed off with you about corruption – wait till you take away their porn and Facebook."

Kapil Sibal Twitter cartoon. on Twitpic

 

[naveen_reloaded]

Read in context, Sibal’s utterances have landed him and Sonia in the eye of a social media storm. People’s anger hasn’t stopped at the minister’s asinine defence of the Congress President’s (obvious) right not to be portrayed indecently.

Click on any of the seven hash tags and you’ll see that people think the messenger is a loud mouth, a downright embarrassment, his name worthy of morphing into an abuse, he’s out to ban the internet itself, and should the Tihar authorities release a certain Harvinder Singh, Sibal should meet the treatment Singh handed out to Sharad Pawar.



Mantri of Hash(Tag)

IMHO its more like divide and conquer congress is practicing .. using religious sentiments as an excuse , they simply want to separate the tech-savy from the support of religious people (which makes up a good portion). I wouldnt be surprised if sibal comes to a pressmeet and shows some cartoons of religious figures and use this sentiment to implement some non-sense.
