    Government proposes move to screen user content before it's published on the web.

    mail share

The Union Telecom Minister, Kapil Sibal, has asked Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! to pre-screen the content generated by Indian users. In yesterday's press conference, he stated that the government needs to take measures to prevent "blasphemous" and "defamatory" material from being circulated on social networking sites.

It's been said that Sibal was particularly unhappy over a series of online jokes targeting Sonia Gandhi and other senior leaders of the Congress. However, probably realizing that no one actually feels bad about lampooning politicians, he veered the topic towards webpages that hurt religious sentiments. To tackle this so-called problem, he put forward the idea of setting up a proactive monitoring system to delete objectionable material before getting published. This proposal will certainly involve employing thousands of people to monitor the internet, like the Chinese. Digvijay Singh immediately backed his buddy - not at all surprising since he has already sued 22 people and eight websites for writing against him. What a sissy!

What these cry babies don't understand is that unlike TV, the internet lets you interact with content instantly. If you find something offensive, you are free to speak your mind right there. What's more, social networking sites already have a mechanism to report offensive content, which works just fine. People use cuss words for politicians everywhere, be it in the streets or salons. Does the government intend to monitor that next?

Earlier this year, Anna Hazare's initiative against corruption had gathered phenomenal support from tech-savvy youth. This move by the government seems suspiciously like an excuse to monitor such movements and nip them in the bud. Asking people to stop maligning politicians is as bad as telling them to not get involved in politics. Seriously, do they expect us to Like their profiles?

If you're outraged by the thought of censoring the internet in the world's biggest democracy, join the unique protest initiated by Kafila.org. All you need to do is write "Kapil Sibal is an idiot" as your status message on Facebook, and use the hashtag #IdiotKapilSibal on Twitter.

This could possibly be one of those images that Sibal found offensive.

Ask this bloody lawyer to walk on the road in his own constitution without security guard even for an 10 minutes. He will appropriate answer what he want from citizens of India and in fact what he deserve.

Indians as a rule are inferior Indian nig gers unfit to talk about strategic matters, especially if it involves the White Master in any way, which it always does. That is why in his 'Mein Kampf' Adolf Hitler said "As for India, I would rather see India under the British than under any one else". It is not just that a handful of the British from half way around the world ruled India for centuries; a lot of other people from various countries did that for a thousand years before that. // A modern day Babar will start each day by killing a million Indians before breakfast every morning, though some think three million will be better (this number can be herded into fairly small extermination circles and then a neutron bomb exploded over them). // I am an Indian, but as far above the other Indians as they may be above cockroaches. // When I say the new Chief of Air Staff, N. A. K. Browne, is a CIA-RAW man, I mean he literally sits at CIA-supplied terminals to participate in crimes against India. More than a thousand Indian Air Force aircraft have crashed since 1970, the vast majority of the crashes caused by microwaves from U. S. satellites which can hack into and operate any digital equipment. In his first week in office as Chief of Air Staff, Browne caused two Indian Air Force fighter planes to crash with microwaves from satellites, to give a boost to his bid to buy worse than worthless foreign aircraft for several tens of billions of dollars of which he will get a hefty cut along with the Defence Minister and the Italian woman who gets the largest cut. When Kapil Sibal -- who also sits at CIA-supplied terminals to commit crimes against India -- says offensive material will be removed by the government, he means it will be done - and is being done by CIA & RAW to U.S., Indian & other media -- using microwaves from U. S. satellites. See IndianAirForcePilotsMurderDOTblogspotDOTcom . // On November 20, 2009 I wrote (see my blog): "While RAW has always been a branch of the C.I.A., the Tamil traitor-enemy Chidambaram has made other Indian intelligence agencies branches of the United States intelligence agencies, bringing in U.S. equipment to India to enable comprehensive real-time monitoring and interception ability for the U.S. of all communications in India, a comprehensive and total censorship power to the United States of not only what gets into the Indian media of all kinds [for example, CIA-RAW can block, partially block, alter or remove communications -- not just comments -- to news media at will and in real time and does it all the time; it can and does also alter the content of web pages, for example, published news reports] but even communications between individuals, bringing India into a colonial grip of and slavery to the United States such as has never been seen in human history. None of this will be allowed, no nuclear deal in any form, no IAEA inspections of any kind of anything in India, no guards of honour, no state dinners, no representing India for C.I.A.-RAW operatives." // November 17, 2011: Integrated Circuit chips made in the United States are required to provide for access to the United States National Security Agency so it can monitor and take control of their operations at will. Components and electronic equipment from the United States should be absolutely "haram"; far from lamenting 'technology denial', equipment from the United States should be rejected even if it is offered on a platter and free of charge as I have said. India's bought-up Defence, Atomic Energy, Space and other officials deliberately close their eyes to this threat. This also applies to U. S.- made civilian aircraft, for example. There are two hundred thousand Indian engineers and scientists working in Research & Development for foreign companies in India but instead of putting its money in Research & Development ( in my letter dated January 5, 2004 to the press -- see my blog -- I had suggested one million Research & Development workers in India in government-sponsored projects), India's CIA-RAW government buys foreign equipment in all fields to keep India poor, weak and enslaved. India's government lends hundreds of billions of dollars to the U. S. government in exchange for worthless U. S. paper but seeks foreign investment and World Bank loans for projects in India, giving ownership and control of India to India's enemies, despite the unlimited capital available to India by simply printing the money; see 'How India's Economy Can Grow 30% Per Year Or More' in my blog; as is described there, the United States has been applying my proposal about money by stealth and now also openly but Manmohan Singh refuses to do so because this bug ger -- a CIA appointee -- does what serves the United States', not India's, interests. // I had asked the Indian Army to arrest the top one thousand or so officers of RAW. It has not done so. But, as I have said, India's nuclear forces obey Satish Chandra. He does not need India's conventional forces or the rest of the government and citizenry to defend India which requires the destruction of RAW which will be done by nuclear means, that is, the simultaneous nuclear destruction of New Delhi, Washington and New York, with a warning that additional U. S. cities will be destroyed, with nuclear warheads already emplaced in them by special forces, if there is any retaliation. // I am India's expert in strategic defence, the father of India's strategic program including the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and the world's greatest scientist (my biography can be found in Marquis' Who's Who in the World, 2011 and earlier editions); for more on the subject above see 'What You Should Know About RAW' in my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U. S.' which can be found by a Yahoo/Google search with the title. // Satish Chandra
