SUMMARY:Free Speech Online in India under Attack?
DESCRIPTION:When the Union Minister for Communications and Information
  Technology\, Mr. Kapil Sibal  suggested pre-censorship for a range of
  popular online platforms and social networking sites\, the suggestion
  was met by a barrage of criticism\, which soon forced him to back dow
 n. Yet Sibal’s suggestion is not the only threat to free speech on t
 he Internet in India today. Legislation such as the Intermediary Due D
 iligence Rules and Cyber Café Rules (also jointly known as the IT Rul
 es) issued in April 2011 is equally dangerous for free speech online.
