Facebook, Google Argue Against Web Censorship In India

An anonymous reader writes "Facebook and Google told the Delhi High Court today they cannot block offensive content that appears on their services. The two Internet giants are among 21 companies that have been asked to develop a mechanism to block objectionable material in India, and the Indian government has given the green light for their prosecution. Although India is democratic (in fact, it's the world's largest democracy), many fear the country will resort to censorship."

I came to US in 1993, and I completely disagree with US idea of "freedom". Immigrants such as myself came to US because their home countries were destroyed or went through massive political disasters (often provoked or exacerbated by US). We don't love you. We don't care about you. We certainly don't care for your ideological crap. We can adapt to anything -- replace stars on your flag with swastikas or hammers with sickles, or start praising Cthulhu in your stupid giant churches, and we won't notice.
