"India has asked Internet service providers to block certain websites
and restricted users from sending bulk SMSes for two weeks after
threatening content caused panic across the country, official sources
said." ... snip

"India's Ministry of IT and Communications has notified all
"intermediaries," which would include social networking and
video-sharing sites such as YouTube and Facebook, to take the
necessary action to disable any "inflammatory and hateful content"
hosted on their websites."
