What the Govt has done is to bifurcate the current provisions into one part where there is a reduction of imprisonment from 5 years to 2 years, make it non cognizable and also compundable. If sexually implicit material is in the content then the 5 years imprisonment as at present will continue. The Govt spokerspersons are misleading the public by stating as if they have accomplished. Please see naavi.org for more details. The amendment regarding sexually explicit material has nothing to commend since it is already available in the current provisions.

Just make a few changes to the upcoming HTML5 standard - . And punish webmasters who gets the tags wrong (he rates it U instead of R). Browsers in workplaces and kids' computers can be set to block such stuff. Done right, it will not ruffle the free-speechers and save kids from potential emotional scars. If the government still wants persists in the "guilty until proved innocent" policy found only in the IT act, the cyber cells will have to be the most advanced in the world.
