Action against offensive content in internet

How is 'offensive content' defined? Who are 'famous religious and political leaders'. It may be in public interest to expose many of them. Most of them deceive and hoodwink people. Please give the source link for better understanding and comment.

It is not correct ask like this to the internet firms.It must not be deleted because people also must know about this.

WE should know good and bad. So then we should know good deeds and bad deeds so like that we should even know offensive things also. so they should not delete

It is not possible for the internet firms to delete such content from their sites.

As they will get their site more popular due to this things.

The sites like facebook show offensive contents against prominent personalities like Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan singh. The content is also offensive to some religious communities. such content must be removed. In this connection, the following link needs careful reading.

Once again the question of desirability and feasibility is there.I think it's only possible for Kbil Sibal to think in such terms!

i agree the number of morphed pictures of sonia gandhi and manmohan singh is increasing in every social networking sites..cartoons are acceptable..but not morphed pictures..

Once again the question of desirability and feasibility is there.I think it's only possible for Kbil Sibal to think in such terms!

but how far this is acceptable..i dont know...you cant differentiate those two..a good interpreter can mix both the words ,,...

This is not possible to delete all the content over the internet.

Offensive content also must be in Internet. For the people to know that there such things also exist in the world

Looking at it pragmatically I think the Congress leadership would have been better advised not to make too much out of this issue!

i agree......... this issue would become another dead end for them..

Facebook authorities have already promised to take action but the largest and oldest political party need not that 'touchy' on this. What is obnoxious is better left as such!

It has been reiterated by Kapil Sibal that there is no move to introduce censorship. But freedom of expression does not extend to insulting prominent personalities and religion. Expression of thoughts is not same as expression of insult.

For more comprehensive view, the links below are relevant.

what we must understand is that by doing this, we are destroying the image of our country among the world. Facebook is seen by millons of people.

We all are reponsible for destroying our countries image.But there are also other countries videos also here.

I think this issue should not be hyped so much. Drawing attention will instigate occurrences of similar nature even more. what makes this issue ridiculous is that these very people do not hesitate to throw chairs at each other, berate each other in loud voices, curse each other and even go for others's throats, in full public view during live sessions of Loksabha. These hysterics are viewed by millions around the world!

The politicians do not behave well in parliament. However this cannot be an excuse for condoning the deliberate insult of our leaders and religious sentiments by foreign based internet sources.

However there are some difficulties in weeding out undesirable contents from the sites.

Gulshan, I agree with your views. It is really a despicable thing to malign national leaders. My only point is that they should not overhype this type of issues, it only draws more attention. Eg. after media made famous the Iraqi who threw a shoe at Bush, it was an act that repeated by many around the world!

Greater wisdom lies in ignoring it.Who knows one day there would be a separate ministry and minister to oversee this!!!
