Yahoo, Microsoft and Flickr on Anti-Porn compaign in India

Posted by AliAziz On January - 1 - 2010

Yahoo has announced that it is blocking sex searches for all those on the Indian subcontinent. Its decision came after a similar statement from Microsoft’s Bling, er, Bing last week.

 

Latest reports suggest that Yahoo search engine, Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and Flickr, recently made alteration to their setting by which Indian users will not be able to switch off the safe-search facility. Same type of blockage is also expected in other countries like Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore.

 

The clampdown is understood to be in response to recent changes to India’s Information Technology Act of 2000, which bans the publication of pornographic material.

 

It is possible that Yahoo and Microsoft could lose a lot of traffic from the move. The word "sex" is the most searched term on the Internet in India. If they can’t get it on Yahoo or Bing they will just go to Google or some other Internet search engine. :P

 

But interestingly such restrictions seems to have made no impact among the web-savvy Indians who go on searching ‘hot’ topics because they can search and find all what they want by simply changing they country(India) to any other Western nation.

 

 

Is this what they call RESTRICTION.. ;)

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor. Have you tried the ipad? you can get one free at FreshGiftCard.com

    This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on thetechnologycafe.com. I decided to find a good vendor of e-smokes. I’m done with paying so much for normal smokes.A friend recommended G Smoke According to their website this is how they described their product:
    “Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with disposable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a variety of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke’s™ patented product offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety.”
    I’m thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

    Hi guys,

    I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on thetechnologycafe.com using them?
