India Should Watch Its Internet Watchmen
by Prasad Krishna — published Mar 28, 2011 — last modified May 06, 2011 05:08 AM — filed under:
The month after terrorists attacked Mumbai in 2008, India's government initiated legislation enabling it to eavesdrop on electronic communication and block websites on grounds of national security. There was no public debate before the bill in question was introduced, and hardly any debate inside parliament itself before it passed in 2009. In the law, there were no guidelines about the extent to which an individual's right to privacy would be breached. And there was certainly no mention, and therefore, reassurance, that due process would be followed when it came to restricting access to websites.

India Chills Online Speech
by Prasad Krishna — published May 10, 2011 — last modified May 05, 2011 03:19 AM — filed under:
While most governments try to control online freedom of speech in a somewhat restrictive manner, either as a collaborator or as a regulator, rarely do they formulate a law to curb online speech. Rarer still does a government provide sweeping powers to intermediaries like an ISP and administrators of Internet sites to control content based on a long list of criteria.
