Facebook, Google remove content after court warning


INTERNET giants Google Inc and Facebook removed content from some Indian domain websites on Monday following a Delhi court directive warning them of a crackdown "like China" if they did not take steps to protect religious sensibilities.

The two are among 21 companies asked to develop a mechanism to block objectionable material after a private petitioner took them to court over images deemed offensive to Hindus, Muslims and Christians.
