A few days back our Union Minister for Information and Communications, Kapil Sibal was leaving no stone unturned to censor social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc, but now taking an entirely opposite route all together the Minister has suddenly gone gaga over its benefits.
The minister who had earlier asked the social networking sites like Yahoo, Facebook, Google, etc, to control what is published in their sites, saying that there are many controversial matters posted in social networking sites that are objectionable, hurt the religious sentiments and depict the political leaders in poor light, has categorically been coming up with newer and different statements to hog the limelight and media attention.
He had even conducted a meeting with the Indian leaders of these networking sites and asked them to comply or face action. In other words, he threatened the social networking sites of dire consequences if they did not toe his line.
