Gurujot Singh of SikhNet


Gurujot Singh of SikhNet his blocking campaign against Gursant Singh on facebook
Tell facebook you want to hear the truth and not censored fb white washed pages about Yogi Bhajan and SikhNet. Support the facebook page: "Donate to SikhNet with conditions" 12733 likes 8587 talking about this http://www.facebook.com About. Exercise your power of the "purse" over SikhNet before you donate. Description We #39;ve all been frustrated by SikhNet #39;s continual heavy censorship of legitimate topics about Sikhi. In fact I just received this message from SikhNet, "Your topic "Yogi Bhajan the golden idol of Baba Siri Chand that adorns the 3HO Gurdwara in New Mexico" at SikhNet Discussion Forum was disapproved by our moderator." Ironically I received this message just as my wife opened her e-mail with yet a nother SikhNet appeal for donations eventhough SikhNet admits to already extracting 200000 dollars this year alone from Sikhs around the world. I was about to get really irritated and angry at being powerless to do anything to stop SikhNet #39;s heavy censorship deception but Guru Sahib reminded of a business tool my father taught me when I was young: "when an individual endorses a check subject to a condition, they accept that condition." Says US District court Judge Katherine Forrest in a 2007 ruling. Exercise your power of the "purse" over SikhNet before you donate.

RUSSIA TIGHTENS INTERNET SUPERVISION – Video


RUSSIA TIGHTENS INTERNET SUPERVISION
A new law that aims to protect children from harmful on-line content, came into effect in Russia on November 1st. The measures will allow the government to take any sites considered harmful to children offline. And as CCTV reporter Wang Ying explains, residents in Moscow are mixed about what the new law means for Russia. This newly established website began operation on November the 1st in Russia. From it, you can check if a webpage has been banned officially in Russia, or you could report one if you think it contains illegal content. According to the new law, only sites that contain child pornography, or promote drugs or suicide can be shut down. The institution responsible for site monitoring is the Federal Supervision Agency, or Roskomnadzor. But some are afraid that this new law might increase censorship in Russia. Olga, Moscow Resident, said, "There are some controversies. Because it depends on the supervision department to decide whether a website should be closed. Some websites that do not have illegal content may be banned." But there is also evidence showing public support for it. A survey conducted by the pollster Levada Centre in late July indicated that about 62% of those asked supported the idea of a blacklist.From:myutubespace123Views:0 0ratingsTime:02:11More inNews Politics
