Bangalore: In the wake of the recent Assam riots, Indian government wanted to ban 309 URLs. The list which consist most URLs from Facebook and YouTube was allegedly leaked on the internet on Wednesday.

According to the reports, the government found 102 URLs on Facebook and 85 URLs on YouTube where communally sensitive content was posted. Both Facebook and Google said on Wednesday that they were working with Indian government to remove illegal content.

A Google official said that they would carefully determine content hosted at each URL and remove it only if the company found it illegal.

Pranesh Paraksh, a CIS official said, “The blocking of many of the items on the list is legally questionable and morally indefensible, even while a large number of the items ought to be removed.”

According to the leaked list, Indian government also wanted to block 30 Twitter URLs, 3 Wikipedia URLs, 11 Blogger URLs and 8 Wordpress URLs. There were also some URLs belonging to a few websites that are sympathetic to Hindu and Muslim extremists. The list also contained URLs belonging to several mainstream media websites.
