Indian Government: Don’t Censor Facebook!

December 12th, 2011 7:30 pm by TuaiSialA

Hmanni khan mail ka dawng a. A ngai ngaiin ka rawn dah tawp e. Hemi chungchang hi a hma paw’n Times of India lamah ka lo hmu tawh a, misual.com lamah a rawn post leh mai ringin ka ngaihsak vak lem lo va. Mahse, mail ka’n dawn takah chuan tuman an rawn post lem si lo va, in dawng ve emaw chu. Tul in tih chuan petition va sign ve teh u.

Dear Tuai,

Your Facebook updates and photographs could be screened and censored before you could share them with your friends.

This is a part of the new restrictions proposed by Kapil Sibal, the Hon’ble Minister for Communication and Information Technology. The proposal would potentially let the Government pre-censor everything you share on the Internet, including websites like Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

Ritesh, a student from IIT Kharagpur, thinks this is a violation of freedom of online speech and needs to be stopped right now before it gains momentum. He started a petition on Change.org calling on Minister Kapil Sibal to drop the idea of censoring what Indians put on the Internet.

We need to act before it goes any further. Click here to add your name to Ritesh’s petition & stop the proposal from becoming a law.

Hundreds of people have signed Ritesh’s petition within hours. Thousands of celebrities and other public figures, like Kabir Bedi, Gul Panang, Shobha De, and Shekhar Kapur, have voiced concerns about the proposal. They have all said that our freedom of speech has to be protected, and not restricted.

The suggested new restrictions could be a serious threat to the right to free speech under Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution. Every Facebook update, picture uploaded, or message tweeted would be monitored and at risk of being censored if the government finds it objectionable.

Click here to join Ritesh and sign his petition to tell Sh. Kapil Sibal to drop the idea of monitoring user content. You will help flood the Telecom Minister’s inbox with emails that he can’t censor.

Thanks for taking action on this,

- Surendran, Tamseel, Deepa and the Change.org team

    Greetings,

    Stop Culling Freedom of Speech!

    Dear Sir,

    Your ask from internet companies and social media sites like Facebook is to pre-screen content from India. This is a direct attack on our right to freedom of speech and expression !

    Freedom of Speech is a basic Human Right guaranteed by the Constitution in the largest and the most vibrant democracy in the world. I implore you to respect the ideals of Free Speech and would request you to immediately STOP going ahead with pre-screening of user content or any other form of censorship/monitoring.

    Sincerely,

    https://www.change.org/petition.....tion_alert
