What if the govt sees the tele media as a threat ... will they also band the foreign channels ???? Where would this ill thought crises management end.....

No government can do so. Have they put ban on Internet ? have They Put Ban on Telephone as telephones are used too. ? Answer is no.

Why should we raise question which has not happened inreality.

Dude, it is not a madrassa here... The intelligence suspects that blogs were used to communicate the messages and hence it is banning it.... But think of it as u say, madrassa is a fixed one. They know that this particular madrassa is spreading the menace.... but is it the case here? They banned SIMI bcoz it was spreading nuisance... good.... but banning blogs altogether is no solution... This way u can go on banning all sources of exchanging information bcoz they can be a source of terrorist activites.

Instead what is needed is development of our intelligence resources so that such activities can be traced out.

I deny that measures should not be taken, but should be realistic. This is no way to stop terrorist activities, esp when there are so many ways to bypass the ban...

Hope i am becoming clear now.

Wrong Arguement. Have they banned acces on internet ? no.
Have they banned telephones ? no.
Have they banned All blog sites ? no.

ok, fine. Tomorrow, the terrorists use some other blogs.... then they would ban those. But does this provide a solution. U know there are ways to bypass the ban... Even the terrorists know this. So in a way, the ban isn't effective. Hence, is there any meaning in banning like this?

The point is not that they have banned.... but the way they've implemented. Since their are numerous loopholes, the ban is totally meaningless... Secondly, this will in NO way cease or even decrease the terrorist activites.

p.s. the terrorists have a plethora of means to communicate and the only way to counter it is by development of our intelligence sources.

Ur posts were not illogical... however, a matter can never be discussed from just ONE perspective.

Anyways, chillax.... this is just a social discussion. No big deal !

Paras....Get it clear, the Govt has technically banned only a few *blogs*....But on a tech level, ISPs cannot essentially block specific pages in a single domain. And they can't seem to be in violation of a law that says these pages are against national security...They take the easy way out and block *.domain.com thereby ensuring they make life hell for all the others....Agreed, 80:20 rule applies here too (80% of all laws for 20% of all ppl), but by acting in complete contravention to modern day tech realities is nothing but anachronistic !
