India has followed China in warning 21 social networking sites that they face being blocked in India unless policies are instituted to monitor and censor content. The process has begun to formally notify and serve summons on the companies. Google and Facebook have both responded to the original complaint by citing their global non-interference corporate policies.

The case first began with a private complaint filed by journalist Vinay Rai against these firms for allegedly webcasting objectionable content. Representatives of the 21 companies were thus summoned to court and a long proceeding began.
 
First. Btw, if people don't like "objectionable" content. Why do they visit the sites?
 
Just cut them off from the internet then

Getting sick of countries who censor their own people from seeing news about their countries and what not, afraid they'll get ousted from power if their people see all the sleazy things they are doing behind their back

It all comes down to control, countries who censor all their media HATE the likes of the internet, cause its beyond their reach, so they do stuff like this cause they are afraid of the truth about them being known and found out, when all this type of censoring does is make things about them even MORE found out

Like I said, only way to effectively control the internet is to completely cut off the internet, and if India thinks they can control the internet then I say we just cut them off and see how they react
