itwbennett writes: Facebook has been sued in California by the non-profit organization Sikhs For Justice for blocking their page in India. The group has charged Facebook with engaging in 'a pattern of civil rights violation and blatant discriminatory conduct' by blocking its content in the whole of India. It has asked the court for a permanent injunction on further blocking of the page, access to Facebook's correspondence with the Indian government about the block, and an award of damages, besides other relief.

Video Bites by DickBreath · 2015-06-04 01:23 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Dear Slashdot,

It is not "video bytes", it is "video bites". As in, wow that's too bad, that really bites. The term 'bites' is not as widely used as 'sucks', but it is more correct, since the former is a bad thing, and the latter is a good thing.

So please correct the spelling of your "Video Bites" spam inserts on the front page.

Thank you

Regards, with my sincerest indifference to the success of your organization and source forge spam operations
