Google asked for mechanism to stop obscene content

The Supreme Court asked internet services providers (ISPs) such as Google on Tuesday if there was any mechanism to prohibit uploading obscene contents on websites and identifying someone if they did culprit who does it. A bench headed by Justice MB Lokur did not agree with Google’s submission that there cannot be preventive blockage. “We want prevention and not cure,” it said when the counsel representing the search engine said Google only catalogued the contents hosted by it.
