Anna warns against the censoring of Internet

Anna HazareIt has been reported that Government is trying to restrict the use of Social Media by Anna Hazare and other Anit-Graft fighters. In his Facebook Page, Anna Hazare has alerted the internet users about this.
Anna says “The UPA government has put together a blueprint to counter the effective use of social media by Team Anna ahead of the Dec 27 agitation. A dedicated team of tech savvy officials has been roped in to scan Facebook & Twitter and respond in real-time to blunt our communication to the masses. They are also trying to put pressure on electronic to avoid coverage of the future agitation”.
He further advised all Indians to stay away from such miscreants.

In a separate development, Google has revealed the list of objections raised by Government.
Google’s own transparency report showed that the Government, so apparently concerned about all this apparent religious hate imagery had not asked through official channels for those to be taken down. Of 358 specific requests for content takedowns, only 3 referred to items about religious hate and those were removed. The vast majority were about politics and politicians, including 255 pieces of content classified as “Government Criticism”.

More on this to be come. We shall keep you updated
