We read:
"Google Inc. and Facebook Inc., fighting a lawsuit in India against content deemed offensive by the government, asked a court to quash the case that underscores a clash over free speech in the world’s biggest democracy. ...
Vinay Rai, who edits an Urdu-language newspaper, asked the lower court to prosecute 21 companies, saying some material on their websites has the potential to incite religious conflict."

Pandering to Muslim "sensitivities" again it would seem. Urdu is the major language of Pakistan.

India where cows,monkeys and elephants are worshipped and kids are starved a backwards pagan nation
So now JonJay says we shouldn't pander to muslim sensitivities but elsewhere he thinks the sensitivities of Christians should be respected! Yet he claims to be an impartial atheist!
So now we're banning due to potential offense?
You might as well pack it up boys, we're done here.
It's cowardly to act on the assumption that somewhere, sometime, someone will be offended.
Anything could be 'potentially' offensive, so why don't we just all shut up in our houses, turn off the TV and radio, and never venture out again. Only then will you be guaranteed to not offend anyone.
