Fallling Curtains - Draft IT Rules

Our apathy, given the resources we have, is unmatched. We seem to wake up only when it is too late, and then, we outdo ourselves in yet another round of righteous indignation. It would be far better to summon up a fraction of that passion when it might make a difference.

In the print edition of The Times of India, I find this news under the headline, "Draft IT rules threaten web freedom"-
Under the draft rules, intermediataries will have to notify users of their computer resource not to use, display, upload, publish, share or store variety of 'objectionable' content.
This includes ' infringement of proprietary information, blasphemy or abuse, information that could harm minors, content that impersonates another person or discloses sensitive personal information etc..'
Mubarak would have loved this. I am sure Gadaffi does.

I blame these people-
