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."

  1. Site down, please change link! by nooyi86 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The site went down because of slashdotting. Can slashdot authors please edit the story in order to change the link to http://www.mirrordot.org/stories/f63b1c65d3036adaf 76721715b4c96ba/index.html ? Yes, it's at Tehelka's site too, but it's a much paired-down version and does not have the second section which lists and categorises sites that are blocked.
