First Post has brought in a censorship policy, bowing to the Indian govt's intimidation tactics like site blocking.

They're trying to put a positive spin on their decision, explaining it as bringing necessary civility to debate. Really, they're simply trying to strait-jacket free debate and discussion according to the whims of a few.
By stooping to helping the Congress Party impose its censorship agenda on public debate, I think First Post has damaged its credibility.
