Indian govt orders blocking of 32 websites including github
- danboarder 12y agoThe one thing I was wondering is how long does a ruling take to go into effect?
- cnvogel 12y agoLawyers... the photographed piece of paper mentions, that the following URLs ought to be blocked, then lists URLs specifying a particular protocol and listing only the empty/top-level resource e.g. https://www.example.com/ https://www.example.com/ Why do these people try to sound "technically competent" using the Term URL when then they specify something so obviously not what they intended? (and I'm sure one could be fined for still making spdy://example.com/index.html available...)
- trextrex 12y agoContext: Apparently some users were hosting pro-IS content on these sites [1] I wouldn't go so far as to call it censorship. It smacks more of incompetence and idiocy. It is highly likely that a lot of people in the government do not understand how the internet works, and what these sites do. (They probably do not understand that these sites contain user generated content) [1] http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/31/indian-government-censorsht/ http://techcrunch.com/2014/12/31/indian-government-censorsht...
