Hi guys, Certain pages can be seditious, defamatory to the institution of religion which is not accepted in the plural society. It won’t be good for the harmony of the country. Some of the social media which is put up on the internet is offensive either to people or to a nation, and thus, requires censoring. Various sites play host to materials which could bring about a rift in the society.

It can be used for mass effects like, mass violence or creating mass chaos. But there is a very thin line between censorship and obstruction of freedom of speech and expression. Laws and rules which are brought in the system should be followed which would not require the need for censorship.

India is a democratic country and if they censor these social networks then they can hardly preach to dictators. There are many important services like rescue service, which rely on the social sites for real time information, not providing it may cost many lives.

Please share your views…
 
There should be some kind of censorship on social media.Social media platforms are a medium to express view or suggestions about a particular person or topic.But it doesn't mean anyone can post anything as they please.There should be some limit,so ethics should be followed.If someone posts something anti national no individual will support the comments.If some says something against someones religion which might hurt the sentiments of the people of those religious community so censorship is must o social media.
 
It%u2019s good to possess a law that demands sites to control their content to a reasonable level. The reality is that in any society where there is rule of law, there is no such thing as unfettered freedom of expression. If a website hosts content that is defamatory, indecent and break any laws of the land, then legal action and judicial involvement is understandable. That is unquestionable.
