Ahmedabad, Dec 30:

Condoling the death of the Delhi gang-rape victim, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) Group President Parimal Nathwani, who is also a Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, on Saturday demanded stringent censorship of films to prevent crime against women.

In a statement here, he said there was an urgent need to re-look films. Its laws also need to be reviewed threadbare. The way sex and crime are projected as an integral part of our cinema certainly has an adverse influence on the illiterate and timid lots, who are tempted to venture into such crimes.

The souls with criminal mindsets get inspired by such scenes and commit crimes in the process of assuming themselves as the real filmy character.

He also said that while strict punishment for crimes against women is imperative to set deterrents in the system, at the same time stringent scrutiny of the sex, violence and crime related aspects in our cinema is also need of the hour.

He described as rubbish the filmmakers claims that such scenes are added on the audiences demand and said it holds no ground. The claims that the films reflect the happenings in society are also not true.

What is needed is complete overhaul and restructuring of the censorship systems and laws, and reorganise it keeping broad societal interests in view.

MP urges tough censorship of films to protect women

BEIJING -- For years, Chinas net nannies turned the other cheek to a loophole in their vast online censorship apparatus.

Anyone who wanted access to blocked overseas websites such as Twitter, Facebook, and more recently, the New York Times, need only download foreign software called a virtual private network (VPN) to circumvent the Great Firewall.

But in recent weeks, even these tools have begun to falter, frustrating tech-savvy Chinese and foreign businesspeople who now struggle to access Internet sites as innocuous as gmail.com and imdb.com.

The tightening appears to be part of a broader and continuing campaign to rein in the Internet in China, which boasts nearly 600 million users and challenges the governments monopoly on information every day.

State media have been running editorials regularly about the dangers of an unregulated Internet, citing an uptick in rumormongering and misinformation.

By typing on the computer, one can send the meanest curse, the most shocking scandals, the most insensitive ridicule and it seems no one can do anything to you, the Beijing Morning Post said in an editorial Thursday. Any responsible government shouldnt let this become a method for the mass public to seek justice.

On Monday, one of Chinas top governing bodies, the National People's Congress Standing Committee, proposed requiring Internet users to register their real identities before accessing online services as a way to combat online fraud. If passed, the law would be especially damaging to Chinas micro-blogging platforms such as Sina Weibo.

The Twitter-like services double as a national nerve center for public opinion. Because bloggers have been able to shield their identities, the platform has also engendered online vigilantism by exposing more government malfeasance (be it hiding ill-gotten wealth in dozens of apartments, sex with a teenager or keeping two remarkably similar-looking sisters as mistresses).

Michael Anti, a Beijing-based critic of web censorship, believes the current pushback on the web reflects paranoia over incoming president Xi Jinpings crackdown on official corruption.

Local officials could be pressuring propaganda departments to curb freedom of speech online, he said.

CPreports 12/28/12 - Putin Bans Adoption for US Citizens, China Censorship, New Years Resolutions
So it's official Russian President Vladimir Putin is a petty and heartless man - but we have been suspecting that all along now...haven't we? In response to the US introducing the Magnitsky law, which is supposed to punish corrupt Russian human rights abusers, who on a regular basis tend to discart of people who might reveal their criminal doings...Putin decided to retaliate by punishing Russia's innocent orphans, and signed a law today banning US citizens from adopting Russian children. Great move Mr.President, instead of waging war against political and business corruption, he decided to take away the chance of a better life from innocent young children. Oh and by the way Russian orphanages are notorious for abusing the children they are supposed to be taking care of. Russian orphanages are underfunded, understaffed and over populated with children. So really there is nothing else to say but good move President Putin, you really showed it to the US - and just to make it clear...I am being very sarcastic! We had high hopes for China and its new leadership but instead, China unveiled tighter Internet controls, legalizing the deletion of posts or pages which are deemed to contain "illegal" information and requiring service providers to hand over such information to the authorities for punishment. The rules signal that the new leadership headed by Communist Party chief Xi Jinping will continue to restrict the use of the Internet for rare open debate. Chinese authorities and ...
