Excerpt: On Tuesday afternoon, the newspaper said its web host (net4) had blocked access without alerting the company, based on a complaint it claimed to have received from the Mumbai Police’s Crime Branch.

I have been thinking about commenting and debate platforms lately, mainly two aspects

a) How to map comments/arguments in a way that the system by design encourages healthy debate and at the same time remain very intuitive to read (and contribute) for not so regular user For example: I am big fan of http://en.arguman.org/ is great work in mapping argument but might not be easy regular naive internet users
