The simple answer, like in the case of China
Concerned with the rising and abusive character
assassination of the political leaders through morphed images and the dangers
of inflammatory posts in a religiously super sensitive nation, the flash points
of which the government has to strive very, very hard to keep from exploding,
the Indian government and now the Indian judiciary
have warned the Internet giants that they need to act.
The question is can the internet giants comply and if they
will, should the Indian authorities insist on things almost technically
impossible on account of the gigantic and growing use of these social media
sites?
More importantly, should India be a party to stifling
information which the world never know about without the social media like the purported
inhumane act of the US army, recently circulated on the social media,
inviting strong criticism and appropriate corrective action, perhaps the only
way such things can be prevented in the future.
To be fair, though there is no mechanism to judge, detect
and thwart offensive material from getting published, both Google and Facebook
have built in mechanisms for anyone who may be offended to report such entries
and get them officially removed.
Isn’t this how things work in any democratic society
including India
Then there are “ways” to gag the source of information like
the ways adopted to silence Julian
Assange and financially destroy his Wikileaks, at least for now, by the
very nations where the social media was borne and developed in to the mass
platforms of expression, characterising the 21st century human
evolution.
In fairness, the Indian authorities are not likely to
initiate any stringent action, as was demonstrated in the case of banning of
Blackberry in India India
What the government is concerned about is its image, which
is being unjustifiably tarnished by all kinds of unproven accusations, which
gets magnified in the social media. The solution, rather than the
uncharacteristic oppressive measures India China
Chances are, any such action to block either Google or
Facebook by the government will be high jacked by the issues starved political
opposition, to campaign for the vote bank of urban youth, by organising, for
sure, candle light vigils, like the recent trend in India. All Google and
Facebook need to offer will be free candles for each new status update or post!
