Cyber cafe owners in Mumbai, the financial hub of India, are a scared lot reason being Orkut, the most popular social networking site of India that's owned by Google. Shiv Sena youth (the self-proclaimed religious police of India)that try to ban everything from valentine's day to pubs & discos to (so-called)adult movies have now turned their attention to Orkut. Last to the Last week, dozens of Shiv Sena workers vandalised some Internet centers, saying they were not stopping their customers from accessing Orkut groups involved in sending hate messages. Internet cafe owners have received a letter from the group saying that if they did not spot and stop people surfing Orkut to spread hate messages, their business would be attacked. The funniest part is that cyber cafe owners are being asked to block access to only certain communities of Orkut, not the entire Orkut.com Domain. Not sure if that is possible but Shiv Sena engineers are already working on such a software and it should available in the next 2 or 3 months. What do you have to say about it?
