Facebook and Google have removed web pages considered offensive to India’s political and religious leadership in order to satisfy a court order. Indian prosecutors are suing a number of Internet companies on behalf of a Muslim religious leader who has accused them of hosting content that insults Islam. Google India did not reveal which sites were removed, while Facebook admitted to removing content from some 'Indian domain websites'.

News reports claim that Google will now abide by local laws, making content invisible to people of certain countries based on the request of authorities. After implementing the changes, any user who logs onto a domain on Blogger, for example, will be redirected to a country specific domain which will be approved by the user's local country laws. Twitter has also taken adopted the same censorship policy after facing opposition from some country's governments on 'unacceptable content'.
