Google, Facebook Remove Content In India

Hey, did you hear that story about offensive content being removed by Google at the request of government officials in India? I could've sworn it was just here a minute ago.

Online giants Google and Facebook said Monday they had removed allegedly offensive content on their Indian sites as part of a court case seen as a test for Internet control and censorship. They have been named alongside another 19 Internet firms in private criminal and civil cases being heard in a New Delhi court which will determine whether they can be held responsible for obscene material generated online by users.
