quoting:<br>
"Users shall not host, display, upload, modify, publish, transmit,<br>
update or share any information that is grossly harmful, harassing,<br>
blasphemous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, paedophilic,<br>
libellous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially,<br>
ethnically objectionable, disparaging, relating or encouraging money<br>
laundering or gambling, or otherwise unlawful in any manner [...]<br>
<br>
users may not publish anything that threatens the unity, integrity,<br>
defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with<br>
foreign states, or or<br>
public order or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable<br>
offence or prevents investigation of any offence or is insulting any<br>
other nation."<br>
<br>
The use of the word "disparaging" to me is particularly problematic.<br>
<br>
Disparaging means 'criticizing someone, in a way that shows you do not<br>
respect or value them' according to the Cambridge Dictionary. In<br>
common usage it can carry an even less personal meaning, in that it<br>
might just be the person's actions that are criticised. How is this<br>
determined?<br>
<br>
Then there is the concept of "transmit" does this only apply to<br>
"users" relaying or reposting, rather than web site operators or ISPs?<br>
<br>
Clearly no-one will ever be able to mention the cricket on an Indian<br>
web site ever again... nor the safety and security of Indian citizens<br>
overseas!<br>
