About 850 sites were banned last year after an SC order. In an attempt to protect children from sexual abuse online, the government will soon issue an advisory to Internet Service Providers, asking them to filter and block related objectionable images, videos as well as text. “In compliance with the provision of the (IT) Act… websites/portals and ISPs should deploy filters/technological tools to block/disable any such child sexual abuse images, videos and text available on the Internet,” according to a draft note prepared by the Ministry of Electronics and IT and reviewed by The Hindu. Last year, the government had banned more than 850 sites citing the Supreme Court’s directions to address the menace of pornography, especially child pornography. However, the move did not go down well with a majority of users who took to social media to criticise it.

Who said that to be part of a moon mission you need to be associated with organizations like NASA or ISRO? Well, times have changed, giving rise to newer opportunities. Google Lunar XPrize (GLXP) competition, which was announced in 2007, enables organizations to be the first to land a privately funded robot on the moon. The mission is to successfully land on the moon by December 2017, travel 500 meters on the lunar surface and transmit high-definition images and videos. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? What’s even cooler is that India’s very own Team Indus is among the top three teams to embark on this mission. Many moons ago, in 1969, Neil Armstrong took a giant leap for mankind. But talent and technology will help us take an even bigger leap this time around. Team Indus, which was almost one of the last teams to enter the GXLP competition, had to depend on these two factors to make it this far in competition. The Bangalore-based team has developed a micro rover for this mission, c...
