In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Rai explained that the evidence he submitted to the court included content offensive to Hindus, Muslims and Christians. ”My intention is to ensure that the sentiments of any religion or community are not hurt,” he told the Journal.
In October, well before Rai’s lawsuit emerged, India’s acting telecommunications minister Kapil Sibal, met with top executives of Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo’s local offices to demand the same.
Executives from the companies told the New York Times that the minister expects them to set up a “proactive pre-screening system” that would have human staffers seeking out objectionable content and deleting it before it appears. According to the same report, the companies called the demand “impossible”.

STFO, Indian government. Why don’t you reign in your own sectarian problems- ethnic/religious/gender/class/caste clashes- before you start picking on the google? Eat dicks!
