So what’s the Government ( not only in India) afraid of ? It’s afraid of the unknown. Social Network is a game changer in the playing out of democracy, and the Government (and Governments all over the world) are caught unawares. All political parties, their elected representatives, whether they sit in opposition or in Government have spent their political lives based on a set of parameters they have come see as sacrosanct. Moral or immoral, those parameters are the only ones they understand. The world has changed beneath their feet.

Kapil sibal confirms on NDTV


[*]He didnt say he wants pre-screening
[*]Isnt against political satirist cartoons
[*]Wants FB/google/etc to evolve some mechanism to handle such stuff
[*]Concerned ONLY on religious/community related stuffs
[*]Called a round table conference on 15th this month
[*]He almost says third party providers are not liable , but since they dont reveal the identity , it leaves him no way forward but to hold third parties responsible.
[*]Huge amount of take down on google(280+) wasnt from his ministry. Time Google also puts who requested the takedown on thier transparency report
[/list] Few interesting things also emerged :


[*]Contents available to India should be accountable (I dont know how that is possible) and for this top sites are to evolve some mechanism , literally he wants these sites to create a firewall FOR the Govt of india .

[*]Its also time we make sure there that we dont give a huge stick to these religious institutions in the name of "Affects our sentiments" , so that they can get away or even strike down contents which are critical on these institution. Its also time Govt becomes neutral to these issues.

if it was a hate page, report it and get facebook to take action!
