This is RIDICULOUS
Yesterday, I sent a mail to CERT-IN (the sub-dept that is in charge of Internet Censorship under GOI) and this is the reply I got:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: common@cert-in.org.in
Original address: info@cert-in.org.in
Reason: Over quota
Today I sent a mail to the Dept of Telecom (the dept that issued the order to ban certain sites) and this is the reply I got:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:

Seems like a lot of people are sending mails by Aditi’s report. And your reasoning is very clear to me Shivam.
This is ridiculous. How can a govt censor information on the internet. Then whats the diff between a democratic indian govt and the chinese govt. They also block content and so do we.
So much for being the world’s largest democracy.
Seems to me that meaning of democracy has changed.
I am a new blogger, presently at this time blogspot is not working and I cannot resist to write. DoT and ISPs are useless, they dont know the technology and blindy blocking sites. But Why?

This too, shall pass. Requires very basic surfing skills to byepass pretty much anything that anybody tries to do.
At the same time, be aware, nobody is anonymous on the Internet anymore.
