India Wants To Monitor Twitter, Facebook
swandives writes "India's home ministry has asked its communications ministry to monitor social networking websites such as Twitter and Facebook amid fears that the services are being used by terrorists to plan attacks. The request suggests that the Indian government is trying to broaden the scope of its online surveillance for national security. Under new rules to the country's IT Act that came into force earlier this year, websites and service providers are required to provide government security agencies with information on private accounts, including passwords, on request without a court order."
me asking: Is there anything that terrorists can't use?
Doesn't the NSA or whatever intelligence agency in the Western world monitor all of you traffic? USA's the most paranoid about terrorism.
How much of your social activity is monitored by intelligence agencies? Does your democratic process expose any of it?
I know /. likes to mock and laugh at India, this happened before with the Blackberry encryption case.
As an Indian citizen living abroad I know about this now, what's your congress doing behind closed doors?
