This is a real morass, or best case scenario, a slippery slope. An individual citizen wrote (just words) what seems to be very inflammatory statements about an Indian gov official. This qualifies, under the Indian sedition laws, as an imprisonable offense. The person who wrote the statements is responsible to know that his statements were illegal. This would be the benefit of the doubt version of what happened.

The next thing that happened was that Google gave up the identity of the writer to the Indian government and that person will potentially spend 5 yrs in jail and throw away a 22yr career in IT.

Do we care?
