Google Aids Indian Goverment Censorship

Posted by kdawson on from the don't-be-what? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google's Orkut has made a deal to provide IP addresses of posters of content deemed objectionable by Bombay police. They object, among others, to posts against certain Indian personalities, young women admiring Indian mobsters, and, amazingly, "anti-Indian words" (!)."

    Most people in America are suffering from sample bias when it comes to Indians. Most Indians they meet are the beaming parent of the teen jeopardy champ or the school math club prez or the local spelling bee. Making them think, "may be they got a billion more where they came from". The reality is ofcourse, among the smart Indians a few emigrate to USA and they are the ones Americans usually see personally. The rest of India, is as smart as the cow.
