India Blocks Yahoo Groups Over Political Content

Posted by simoniker on from the brute-force-embargo dept.

Ryan Barrett writes "In an attempt to shut down the Yahoo Group of a separatist political movement, the Indian government's CERT organization ended up blocking its country from accessing Yahoo Groups as a whole. China's censorship of the Internet in the past few years has been unsettling, but most people have accepted it as a by-product of China's form of government. Given that India's form of government is clearly different, this is much more chilling."
