Freedom of speech and expression is
the mortar that cements the bricks of democracy. Completely blocking websites on
the Internet by the government is a step away from democracy. However, freedom
of speech does not extend to the extreme scenario where it is okay for a
miscreant to go into a crowded theater and shout ‘FIRE’! Such an act can harm or
hurt the peace and wellbeing of others in the society. Hence it is important for
the government and online platforms to join hands to efficiently work together
to block the publishing of inflammatory content on the Internet. However,
prescreening of Internet content or putting the complete liability,
responsibility and blame on platforms is not very reasonable. After all, could
you sue a mobile phone operator or the neighborhood post office if somebody were
to send an obscene or offensive message using their communication medium? You
can prosecute the individual who sent the message and not the communication
medium that was used.
Speaking on the launch of his new
book Ankit Fadia said “Banning or blocking websites on the Internet completely
is not the answer and is a step away from democracy and could silence free
speech all together. We need to find a middle ground which allows a more
efficient mechanism to remove offensive content from the Internet without
blocking access to websites completely. China currently employs 40,000+ people
to block content on the Internet. Hope India is not going to go the China way”.
Written in an easy-to-understand
do-it-yourself manner that just about everybody (both non-technical people and
technical people) can understand, this book will teach you simple things you can
do to unblock access to blocked stuff on the Internet including social networks
(Facebook, Twitter), video streaming websites (YouTube, MetaCafe),
Sports/Cricket websites, chat, career sites and just about everything else. If
you are studying in a college, working for a company or travelling to a country
that has blocked access to everything cool & fun on the Internet (like
Facebook, YouTube, Chat and others), making your life miserably boring, this
book is sure to come to your rescue. It
contains over 50 different chapters and provides step by step processes that
absolutely anybody can follow and is ably supported by screenshots as
well.

Ankit Fadia launching his 15th book " How to unlock everything on internet" in Chandigarh, |
The book “How to unblock everything
on the net” will find a widespread audience not only in India but also amongst
residents and visitors to countries like China and the Middle East (Iran, UAE,
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya and others) where censorship is rampant and
repressive.
Recipient of the prestigious National
Telecom Awards 2011, for "Global Ambassador for Cyber Security" from Sachin
Pilot (Minister of State in the Ministry of Communications and Information
Technology) , Ankit Fadia is a globally respected voice on cyber terrorism.
Ankit Fadia was also recently selected by the World Economic Forum as a Global
Shaper for his achievements at such a young age.
He further added “It is about time
that governments start looking at platforms like social media and search as
assets and not as enemies. After the Devastating Earthquake in Japan in 2011,
Google immediately launched a People Finder website which allowed people to
upload pictures & post information about missing people & share it with
others and actually managed to help people locate their missing loved ones. The
Haiti Earthquake generated more than 17 million tweets alone creating much
needed global awareness, aid and help from all corners of the globe in a matter
of a few hours. Would you really want to block such lifesaving mediums?”.
Commenting on the launch of the book,
Mr. Piyush Chawla, Director, Vikas Publishing Pvt. Ltd. The publisher of the
book said “Kudos to Ankit for showing the way to having unrestricted access to
legal content on the Internet. A TRUE-VALUE book!”

the digital world, they don’t like to be blocked or restricted and it is so apt that Ankit gives them the tool to break through
restrictions that they keep facing. The youngsters have been exploring the web
and have over a period of time have become more responsible in their usage of
digital spaces”. He added, “Ankit embodies the true spirit of Flying Machine and
it has been a perfect match because both Ankit as well as the Brand have always
been daring, outgoing, self-ruled youngster who have gone along their belief and
