In India, freedom of expression heading rapidly into the past tense

http://j.mp/xWU6Ly  (Washington Post)

   "But perhaps the most shocking episode for advocates of freedom of
    expression has been the government's attempt to muzzle Facebook and
    Google - and prosecute the companies' executives - for content posted
    on their sites deemed to be offensive. "Like China, we can block all
    such Web sites," warned the judge hearing the case in the Delhi High
    Court."
