Facebook, Google Argue Against Web Censorship In India

[Daniel]

Facebook and Google told the Delhi High Court today they cannot block offensive content that appears on their services. The two Internet giants are among 21 companies that have been asked to develop a mechanism to block objectionable material in India, and the Indian government has given the green light for their prosecution. Although India is democratic (in fact, it's the world's largest democracy), many fear the country will resort to censorship.

That has been an ongoing issue for India. I think that's a hard thing to do for those Internet giants as it would be an additional work for them.
