Cutting the knot

Court seeks government view on banning Orkut (via rediff)

I say, instead of going one site by site,why the hell they don't go whole hog and ban the Internet itself.

There is an argument that Internet should be treated as different from other popular form of media.

I like to believe that Internet is as much broadcasting medium as newspaper or television, if anything this is an argument against any kind of censorship.

All this in theory only though. I realise the potential any inflammatory pamphlet possess of provoking riots in any of the old cities.

Which of course means there is much that needs to be done to discourage this tendency of mob justice, not limited to overhauling law enforcement.
