Union communications and IT minister Kapil Sibal's demand from social network sites, like Facebook and Google, to prescreen user content from India and remove disparaging, inflammatory or defamatory content before it goes online has received bitter criticism on the social networking site Twitter.

Kapil Sibal cited an example of a religious place that turned out to be a pornographic site, and told them such content played with religious sentiments, says this report on the Hindustan Times.

A number of retweets and comments on Twitter came pouring in on the demand made by him saying "Kapil Sibal is an Idiot". 

Kafila.org has started a campaign asking people to write 'Kapil Sibal' is an idiot' on their Facebook status message, to use the hashtag #IdiotKapilSibal on Twitter and write a blog post with titles censorship, Internet censorship in India, Kapil Sibal and  #IdiotKapilSibal.@over_rated retweeted, "The next task Kapil Sibal is going to undertake is to enumerate the grammatical errors in a Chetan Bhagat 'novel.
