India's net-censorship law - webcomic edition

The Indian webcomic "Crocodile in Water Tiger On Land" has some trenchant commentary on India's Information Technologies Act 2011, a pro-censorship, pro-surveillance Internet regulation.

Information Technologies Act 2011

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Wait… What?

There’s an act in 2000 and an amendment in 2008. Nothing in 2011…

I wonder what they’re talking about!

ExhibitA

everyone’s referring to it loosely as IT Act, 2011, but technically, it’s Information Technology Rules (Intermediary Guidelines), 2011, an addition to the IT Act. https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:-uDAegqiwMQJ:www.mit.gov.in/sites/upload_files/dit/files/RNUS_CyberLaw_15411.pdf+information+technology+act+2011&hl=en&gl=in&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjC-0iwPZEZGUzAJmzM_cOAfSeLXk0TSY4QqALibeV6ugCjMMf57hTlO4JRxHU8g3NR1jVGdXIAd_3KWJEGY3M-v9GJRs-6ZN31YCvwe40U15tzRJJUgF3_60T9GlzHG3khGzMa&sig=AHIEtbRyaLXl5NFiEQiVVzYlfvA2bhO2wQ&pli=1
