Internet Content Filtering in India

[Rakesh 'Arky' Ambati]

Dear Friends,

The OpenNet Initiative is a collaborative partnership between three
leading academic institutions: the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for
International Studies, University of Toronto, Berkman Center for
Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, and the Advanced Network
Research Group at the Cambridge Security Programme, University of
Cambridge.

An very important study on the present status on Internet content
filtering.

Internet Content Filtering in India: Variations in Compliance and
Accuracy
In response to a Rediff.com report indicating that the Mumbai Police
Commissioner's Office had ordered ISPs in India to block the website
HinduUnity.org (because of inflammatory anti-Islamic material contained
on the website) we connected to the web site in controversy through
remote computers hosted by three ISPs in India to ascertain compliance
with the latest order and found that website is indeed inaccessible.
