It's been proven time and time again that whenever any censorship blacklist is created, for whatever "good reason", it will end up being abused for purposes that have nothing to do with the original purpose of the list. Although, in this case India actually telegraphed from the beginning that it will be used like this, when they said it will be used against "negative" comments or something like that.

For those of us living outside India, FakingNews and such other sites are still accessible. "The Hindu" newspaper [1] asked the right question: why weren't the defendants given a chance to explain their "defamatory" opinions? It's like, "Oh, I don't agree with you. You must be censored and punished!". Wonder how is Internet surviving in India at all.

It does not look quite so bad to me. There is a big difference between saying "the food was so bad that I puked" and saying "the cook tried to poison me". The issue is being debated, both, in public and, via the court.

What if there's actual evidence of 'the cook trying to poison'? http://www.careers360.com/news_3067-IIPM-Best-only-in-claims (If you are from India, you may need to use a VPN to access this.

IIPM says it offers "graduate degree in management" [1] in cooperation with IMI, Belgium. But IMI and IIPM have both been de-recognized in Europe, and it happens that IMI itself is not recognized in Belgium [2]. Yet their homepage [3] claims, even today, that it is recognized by CEEMAN.
