Facebook, Google remove content after court warning

Internet giants Google Inc and Facebook removed content from some Indian domain websites Monday following a court directive warning them of a crackdown ’’like China’’ if they did not take steps to protect religious sensibilities.
The two are among 21 companies asked to develop a mechanism to block objectionable material after a private petitioner took them to court over images deemed offensive to Hindus, Muslims and Christians.

The case has stoked fears about censorship in the world’s largest Democracy.
