There may be a counter-argument that Indian internet services were used to transmit the content, but then the nature of digital content is such that it cannot be seen until it is published through a medium. The medium in this case is located in US--far beyond the Indian jurisdiction.

But this is not a case of warez or illegal torrents, the thoughts and the views expressed were of the posters, regardless of the medium used.(According to the skewed logic, i.e.)
It's a shame that our politicians can get away with anything they say, often citing the reason of 'misinterpretation of their views by the media' or in some cases with derogatory comments against certain sections/religions of society, while How dare WE, the ordinay citizens raise our voices against them.
