An Indian man was recently arrested and held for more than three weeks based in incorrect IP information given to the police by his ISP. The original IP address had been provided by Google, as the "crime" of insulting a historical figure, occurred on Orku

"Do No Evil" is an accidental punchline

Google's founders are being revered as the purist thing since white light. I think it is time that our representatives wake up and start making US companies more responsible for their actions overseas. Have we learned nothing yet.. Cisco is selling security software to China to control their peoples' expression of freedom. Most don't think much about how much power these companies have in the aggregation of all of our information.

India is a country where there is 'RIGHT FOR SPEECH' according to the Constitution. If it seems to be wrong for insulting great leaders, then the insulting of religious beliefs (of all religions) are to be punished.

It's too bad all religions are the reason Freedom gets oppressed to begin with. It's also too bad that WHEN the U.S. Gov't puts regulations into effect, the business investors of America will simply move to china and india for the cheap labor and resource cost. Excessive regulation produces excessive cost for business, and when it comes to producing profit, big business doesn't give a rats azz about which country they do it in. We're headed for more than a recession and the root cause is simple human greed, the secondary cause is a general ignorance in EVERY country across the globe. Authoritarian-disciplinarians are the driving force behind ALL evil and injustice.
