After social networking sites refused government's request to censor contents, Sibal had warned them and said that government will be addressing this issue in it's own way and here we are. The websites have been dragged to court and you can see the outcome.

New Delhi: In a major blow to 21 social networking websites including Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and YouTube, a Delhi court on Saturday asked them to remove derogatory content by February 6, 2012.

The court went ahead and said that contents of such nature can trigger communal disputes, voilence against women and what not.
The court gave these orders despite the fact that all these websites have decent content policies which are accepted worldwide.
I can't even being to imagine how these websites are going to filter/censor huge volumes of user generated content on blurred grounds like religion and politics where it is hard to decide whether content is objectionable or not.

Reliance entertainment, the firm responsible for destribution of SRK's lastest movie Don2 and one of the leading Internet service providers of India, has once again blocked access to filesharing sites. They had done the same during release of other bollywood movies like Singham and Bodygaurd.
These websites are confirmed to be blocked:
rapidshare, mediafire and filesonic.
This is what shows up when someone, connected through Reliance, tries to access filesonic.com: http://i.imgur.com/4Aw50.jpg
Being an ISP, they should understand that filesharing sites are not only used to download pirated movies. They are of great importance to students, officials and anyone else who wants to share files. Reliance seems to care only about it's own profit.

Facebook users will now see an advertisement on their news feed everyday. Only most relevant ads will be displayed based on what brands/pages you and your friends like or are connected to.
Have you wondered why Facebook is free and always will be ? These ads are a major source of it's income so people should support them provided that ads don't become too loud.
If implemented properly, ads could turn in enough money because facebook has a huge userbase of 800 million people around the globe.
