Google agrees to court order in India to remove content The Indian
government wants Google and other Internet companies to evolve a
mechanism to quickly remove objectionable content

http://j.mp/zkVSqH  (IT World)

  "Google has agreed before a court in Delhi to remove religious and
   other content considered objectionable, though some other Internet
   firms are likely to appeal the court's decision, plaintiff Mufti Ajiaz
   Arshad Qasmi said on Monday.  Qasmi, a private citizen, had filed a
   civil suit against Google and other Internet companies including
   Facebook, objecting to certain content on their websites. The content
   is said to mock gods worshipped in India. He is now pressing the
   companies to put in place technology for filtering out content that is
   considered objectionable."
