Content must be screened: Kapil Sibal on Google, Facebook
Amid a furious debate on Twitter and several international reports, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal today acknowledged that he has asked internet firms like Google and Facebook to ensure user content is screened before offensive material is posted online. The companies have said this is not possible. Mr Sibal denied that this amounts to censorship; he also said that the government will have to intervene because the companies have not cooperated.
