Clandestine Internet Censorship in India

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the too-hot-for-your-screen dept.

nooyi86 writes "China and the Middle East block sites in order to suppress political or social dissent. Website blocking in India, on the other hand, is driven by national security-related paranoia, or hate speech that may lead to violence. The state must save its citizens from propaganda of both the extreme right and the extreme left. Shivam Vij has posted a comprehensive profile of Internet censorship in India."

    Yeah, sure enough the countries that have been free for a long time aren't censoring anything. They surely would never use the guise of terrorism to cover lies.

    If you believe the above, your government did a extremely good job.
