Indian Court says may "block" Google and Facebook, like China

Being an Indian, I can confidently say that neither Facebook nor Google would be blocked..Ever. Unlike China, India is a democratic country and its media is independent from the clutches of the higher authority. Serious objections would be raised from all quarters if the high court decides to go ahead with the ban.

An old but apt tweet:<p>Clean drinking water in villages. Primary education for all. Safe streets. No hungry people. Ah never mind. Let's monitor content on the net and block sites.

I am sure it would be tough, but as we have seen that this could happen, as happened in China. What could be a viable solution? I mean, for future, how can we make it so that blocking two domains is not what it would take for a government agency to block big networks like Facebook and Google.

Seeing as the general perception of the Indian economy is IT services and call centres, switching off Google would be akin to banning the telephone.
