NEW DELHI: Even as the controversy over IT minister Kapil Sibal urging social networking sites to censor offensive content rages on, a trial court has directed several sites, including Facebook,Google, Orkut and Youtube, to remove "anti-religious" or "anti-social" content "promoting hatred or communal disharmony". Administrative civil judge Mukesh Kumar, in an ex-parte order, directed the social networking sites to remove objectionable content in the form of photos, videos or text which might hurt religious sentiments. The court's order came on a civil suit filed by Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi who had submitted the printouts of the contents.

Some dumb fucks believe that they have the right to NOT be offended. Well – what makes you so special? OR perhaps the question should be – What made you so retarded?

The Judge – Mukesh Kumar's decision is idiotic – to say the least. Who decides what is offensive/objectionable? One man's witch is another man's fairy. What may seem offensive to Mufti Aijaz Arshad may be a hilarious joke for someone else.

Can you think of a single joke that could NOT be termed "offensive"? Think about it:

• The wife jokes would be offensive to married women.
• The sardaar jokes would be offensive to the Sikhs.
• The gay jokes would be offensive to gays.
• Jokes on politicians/lawyers/teachers/IT guys would be offensive to politicians/lawyers/teachers/IT guys.
• The Vatican and the pope get offended by everything, so no point in mentioning that with an example.
• We could crack jokes on dogs / cats – but then we would be offending the animal rights activists.

Now let us talk about the "abusive" posts. Well – the social websites can not be blamed for the abusive language used in the posts. These posts / comments are put up by individuals who are angry or stupid or both. Now, for THAT – most of the websites have a "Report / Report Abuse" button. If anyone finds it offensive, they simply need to report the comment – at which point, the website administrators will take action – if required.

So… err, where is the problem?

Dikhaawon pe mat jaao, apni akal ladaao,
Aur, agar ho sake – to court mein koi kaam ke judge baithaao (no offense intended. If I have hurt the sentiments of Judge Mukesh Kumar or those of Mufti Aijaz – it was not intentional. Just trying to be logical. You should try it too).
