Idiotic Indians
Jul 21, 2006
India is still censoring this website. Apparently, India considers making fun of terrorists and their Islamist supporters more dangerous than the terrorists themselves. We are #2 on India's list of 17 websites that are being censored.
India reemphasized the ban today. Contrary to MSM reports, the only retreat was from the broader domain level ban, which was instituted by ISPs in India as a way to follow the directive to ban this and other websites.
I linked to a Slashdot story yesterday which stated that the censorship had ended but apparently it hasn't.
What exactly is the Indian government trying to gain by censoring / banning anti-Islamist blogs? Do they really think that they'll get brownie points from terrorists if they rip apart free speech? Moreover, do they not realize that, in an era where music and movies can be easily swapped on the Internet, banning text won't work.
The Indian government has put its name alongside the thuggish regimes of the world and shown itself to be utterly stupid.
