Recipe for killing Internet in India!

NEW DELHI: There is a clear and present danger to internet in India. If the recommendations of the parliamentary standing committee were to go through, you might as well pull the shutters down on the net in the country, because the committee seeks to raise the liability of internet service providers for any third party content in a manner that it will become difficult to run the service and stay away from jail.

This isn't an exaggeration. Over 85% of internet deals with third party content. This includes search engines, mail services, messengers, blogs, communication and community sites. If they were to be held responsible for the sites searched, mails sent, blogs filed or scraps on community sites then service providers would be hauled up by the police for acts they are not even faintly responsible for.

Why, then, is the committee proposing this insanity? The answer is simple — the committee has failed to understand the internet. Frankly, there's no difference between the phone and the postal service and the net — it's just that one delivers voice or post and the other data. Both deal with third party content which is impossible to verify.

How would a mail service know, for instance, if two friends exchange copyright material? Or, how would a search engine track if someone accesses sites spreading hatred, or worse, promoting terror? It's all out there — the responsibility of who fetches what should be that of the individual, not the service provider. Therefore, what the standing committee is seeking to do is something like making a postal service responsible for every mischievous mail it delivers — perhaps by a drug dealer giving details of a consignment or a student sending photocopies of a book and hence infringing on copyright. Or, something like making a phone service, such as MTNL or BSNL, responsible for every bit of dirty talk or criminal conspiracy over its wires.

i too read and couldnt stop laughing i thought mac boys were the pinnacle of blindness but we Indians elect more foolish ppl

[alsiladka]

This really is a stupid move. I believe when they release this for the suggestions and recommendations in the Gazzete, it is going to be brought down!

[alwynrozario]

I think its just because these so called, committee members have no other better work to do.

[speedrider_100]

LOL, How could they manage to implement this ?

[desai_amogh]

im sure not a single person in tht comitee must have tried opening GOOGLE in their life ...

[ArZuNeOs]

Gaurav thanks for sharing this info

Well its strange coming from the same government which once said that India will bloom once Information & technogy develops & also connecting people through internet

Well my opinion is that this whole topic is just blurred when state owned tele companies have completed spending bamboozling money on expanding infrastructure Just for proving more service of broadband networks

[shashank_re]

Guys can you please give me the procedure for getting US Visa.....Iam leaving this so called 'Democra(ppy)tic' country soon

[kumarmohit]

So much for the Year of Broadband!

[~Lil JinX~]

LOL...its impossible for anything to come of this. Even if it does come to a stage when they seriously try to implement it...well, the idea will be shot down, plain and simple.

[naveen_reloaded]

This is India ...
They form rules on water and skid away..

dont worry ..even if many rules are implemented..
they will work only for few days or months ..after then its again axxo to be searched for

[alsiladka]

You can search for Axxo. This section does not speak about you, you may be playing a very trival part in the scene.

This section concerns the Service Providers. They are huge actors in the screen, they cannot take it lightly. For them, allowing internet access would mean their heads on the gallows virtually every second.

[naveen_reloaded]

i think its all because of us (the user) they r coming to these conclusions ...
isnt it ?

[mavihs]

nope. its not our fault. the only thing is that they r not well educated. thats it.
if they try 2 do this lets them. they'll be the 1 who will suffer. u have no idea if they do this wat while happen. the internet is part of daily life.

[naveen_reloaded]

do u think isp`s will watch thier decision with toungue tied??

this is multi crore business and will become more than that/..

yes those politicians are reall jer%s

anyway let the rule come .. dont worry there are many such hollow debates and announcement in India..
