Kapil Sibal Internet companies and social media

The Indian government has asked Internet companies and social media sites like Facebook to prescreen user content from India and to remove disparaging, inflammatory or defamatory content before it goes online, three executives in the information technology industry say.

“If a status update doesn’t have a ‘Kapil Sibal likes this’ response by default, it means that our filters have somehow missed it,” a representative of Facebook told Faking News, “We appeal to our law abiding Indian users to immediately report such status updates for abuse. Our team will review it and give it a ‘Kapil Sibal likes this’ mark if they find it clean.”

Congress MP and discredited ex-minister Shashi Tharoor who has made more than a fool of himself on the net, quickly broke through the high benchmarks he had set for himself, by first tweeting that he was not in favour of censoring, and then soon after, apparently after a meeting with Sibal, saying, via the same medium, that he supported Kapil Sibal: “Pretty vile stuff. Sadly public didn’t object2them 1st.”
