Re: ACT fibrenet, Bangalore blocking Dailymotion.com etc

This is just a case of an overzealous policeman and an equally overzealous
magistrate breaking the Internets. Just because we find a terrorist holed
up in a rental apartment in Kolkata, does not mean we need to impose curfew
in the entire Country.

india-gii list has discussed this issue of extensively in Q4-2011 and
Q1-2012 when amendments were being made to the IT act to make this
possible.

Seems like a lot of undo is required to restore sanity. But, this may be
too much to ask given that our security forces carry the attitude that
banning VoIP entirely is a solution to stopping treat calls to SRK!
