For sure this is to curtail Freedom of Speech through Internet and Mobile. Alongwith ongoing exercise of tapping thousands of telephonic conversations the Govt is shamelessly limiting the democratic space by increasing its control.
Please beware of this anti-democratic move and raise opposing voices.
