Internet regulations: From the US to Australia

India

India has criminalized the electronic publication of obscene information. India's selective censorship of blogs and other content is often under the guise of security.

On July 13, 2006, the government ordered access to 17 websites blocked following the 2006 Mumbai train bombings, reportedly because the attackers were believed to have communicated by means of the blogosphere.

In 2006, filtering requests also came from individuals protesting content they considered offensive or obscene.
