This OP-ed in 'The Hindu' gives you more context:
http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-curious-case-of-vi... Key quote:
>>" Since August 2011, Mr. Kapil Sibal, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, has reportedly held meetings with the Indian heads of Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo and expressed concern regarding content on the sites hosted by these companies which maligned politicians and religious figures. The executives were reportedly shown content from their sites that could hurt religious sensibilities, as well as obscene images of Indian political leaders, and were told to screen user content and remove offensive material before it was uploaded." There are a growing number of cases against Facebook and Google - the tax angle, blasphemous material hosted, minors creating accounts. To the cynic in me, all this just seems like Facebok and Google have not yet learnt to play with the the political big wigs. |

To the cynic in me, all this just seems like Facebook and Google have learned just fine how to play with the political big wigs...as in how a cat plays with mice.
