  • INDIAN INSTANCES of REGULATION of FREESPEECH 2011 1. Political Cartoonist's Website Blocked, Followed by His
    INDIAN INSTANCES OF REGULATION OF FREE-SPEECH 2011 1. Political Cartoonist©s website blocked, followed by his arrest nine months later. Month: 27 December 2011 Website: www.cartoonsagainstcorruption.com Reason: Complaint by private entity ± objectionable pictures and texts related to the flag and emblem of India. The website at www.cartoonsagainstcorruption.com was a cartoon based campaign started by a 25 year old political cartoonist, Aseem Trivedi, to support the nation-wide anti-corruption movement in India started by Anna Hazare in 20111. Having published his cartoons in several newspapers, Trivedi, who hails from Kanpur, had launched the website in October 2011 to reach a wider audience. In December 2011 Trivedi©s banners had received a lot of media attention at the time of Anna Hazare©s three-day fast at Mumbai. Consequently, on the second day of the campaign, Trivedi©s website, which features anti-corruption cartoons, had become inaccessible and upon inquiry from the web-site©s host (Big Rock) it was revealed to him that the portal had been suspended following a complaint from the Mumbai Police. The complaint that resulted in suspension of the website was made by a Mumbai- based lawyer, R.P. Pandey2, who alleged that several of the cartoons violated provisions of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and the State Emblem of India (Prohibition of Improper Use) Act 2005.3 The Aftermath & ©Save Your Voice© Campaign 4: Following his web-site©s ban, Trivedi initiated a blog on Blogger, a Google-based service, where he continued to voice his opinions5. Thereafter a movement against censorship in India called the ©Save Your Voice© campaign was initiated by Trivedi along with journalist Alok Dixit.

Index uses a unique combination of journalism, campaigning and advocacy to defend freedom of expression for those facing censorship and repression, including journalists, writers, social media users, bloggers, artists, politicians, scientists, academics, activists and citizens. Contents Introduction Recommendations 1. Online censorship Takedown requests, filtering, blocking and network disruptions 2. Criminalisation of online speech ‘Facebook arrests’, Supreme Court challenges of the IT Act 3. Surveillance, privacy and government’s access to individuals’ online data 4. Access: obstacles and opportunities Access issues, costs, illiteracy and language 5. India’s role in global internet debates Conclusion 2 India: Digital freedom under threat? Introduction The rules India makes for its online users are highly significant – for not only will they apply to 1 in 6 people on earth in the near future as more Indians go online, but as the country emerges as a global power they will shape future debates over freedom of expression online. India is the world’s largest democracy and protects free speech in its laws and constitution.1 Yet, freedom of expression in the online sphere is increasingly being restricted in India for a number of reasons– including defamation, the maintenance of national security and communal harmony, which are chilling the free flow of information and ideas.
