This case seems to fit better under
freedom of information. Suggest that
you include it in the FOE/FOI section. I
think the case you have called
“Regulation on content by Govt of India
FoE FoI
Tension between preventing the
exploitation of children online and
freedom of expression; role of
intermediaries; governance models
for regulating content; international
standards for limitations to FoE
Limitations to FoE; incitement to
violence; relationship between FoE
and other rights; role of
intermediaries

here.
This case also seems to fit better into
FOE/FOI. Suggest including it in that
section, and perhaps prioritsing between
ICICI digital village and the digital literacy
case. Here you might consider using the
“Blocking based on obscenity” case.
I think this actually fits better to replace the
innocence of Muslims case study. Perhaps
you could look into the recent case of the
GOI ordering ISPs to block 32 websites for
this case.
With the info given on this case, I do not see
how it relates to internet rights specifically.
Suggest sticking with the cases you already
have.

Govt of India on Google,
Facebook and Twitter
“Blocking based on
obscenity” case.
GOI orders ISPs to block

Suggest Movie, PK here.
Movie, PK online debate

Could also use the recent case of the GOI
ordering ISPs to block 32 websites for this
case.
GOI orders ISPs to block

This should really be a case looking at open

indian context you can use?

Suggestion using this one to replace Google

Seems like a good match
Excellent choice
The Anonymous India letter case seems like
a good match. Is there more information on
anonymous activities in India you can use,
for example:

Suggest retaining this case study, and
updating it if necessary.

This case should consider the obligations of

Absolutely. We are

Also look at CMS for

anonymity and privacy; balance
between right to privacy and FoE in

GoI seeking

from Google,

Suggest using this case to replace Google in
China. “Onlin e anonymity in India” would
work well here I think.
Shortlist: 1) Combination of “GoI
seeking user information from Google,
Facebook & Twitter” + “Regulation on
content by Govt of India on Facebook”
to replace “Google in China” 2)” Movie,
PK online debate on religious
sensitivity” to replace “Innocence of
Muslims”; 3) “GOI ordering ISPs to block
32 websites” to replace “Uganda LGBT”;
4) “Online harassment against activist
Kavita Krishnan” to replace “Women
driving in KSA”; 5) “Anonymous India
attacks” [looking beyond the letter] to
replace “DDOS”; 6) “Online anonymity in
India” to replace “Real name registration in
Asia”; 7) “Whatsapp” to replace “Idle No
More”
