Act Responsibly

             

Thanks to God, blogs haven’t yet been blocked, but a Delhi High Court asked other internet firms including Facebook, Google and YouTube to look at China and have stringent checks on the content on internet.

I wonder whether phone companies could be sued if someone sends obscene message. I think we can’t sue gravity if you fall on ground and hurt your nose. Am I right?

Where countries in north are using social media to bring in democracy, a democratic country like India is trying to restrict it… This is not done...
I would rather believe in self-regulation by the user .When government gives you freedom ... one should respect the democracy and must not misuse it.

I don’t want India to become like China, and should think of good things which the internet has contributed to society. As a matter of fact, China has most sophisticated web filters in the world and network in constantly censored.

Being a commerce student, I must look its impact on corporate sector.
For a corporate sector social media is now the barometer of customer satisfaction level. These days company heavily uses the social networking platform.

What I feel is we should act responsibly to avoid government interference. The only kind of censorship that can work on the net is self-imposed.
