Nachdem Zensursula mal wieder das Beispiel Indien dafür heranzog ihre Internetsperren zu begründen, schrieb ich der indischen Botschaft und beschwerte mich über die laxe Gesetzgebung. Jetzt hab ich eine Antwort erhalten:
*Dear Sir/Madam,*
Please refer to your email expressing doubts about the legal provisions in India for combating child abuse and child pornography.The contention that there are no laws in India against child pornography and that child abuse is legal in India is totally unfounded and misleading.
The Indian Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 have several provisions to punish child abuses e.g. Section 354 dealing ith outraging the modesty of a woman, Section 375 dealing with the offence of rape (any act, consensual or otherwise, with a minor is onsidered rape), Section 377 dealing with unnatural acts and offences. These cover the crimes related to the child abuse in a comprehensive manner.
To deal with the cases of child pornography in the electronic form, the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008 – was enacted on 5 February 2009. As per Section 67 sub-clauses B(a) & (b) of this Act, it is a criminal offence in India to publish, transmit, collect, create, seek, promote, advertise, exchange or distribute material in any electronic form depicting children in obscene or indecent or sexually explicit manner. Conviction for such offences is punishable with imprisonment up to 7 years and a fine up to Rs 1 million (Euros 15,000/- approx). It is an equal offence in India to browse or download any such material and is punishable with the same
sentence and fine.The sub-clauses B (c) to (e) cover other offences related to online abuse of children. Full text of the Section 67 B of the said act is given below for your information. German translation of the message is also appended.

Leerzeilen sowie die in der Mail enthaltenen Rechtstexte wurden entfernt. Zensursula sagt wiederholt die Unwahrheit zur Förderung eigener Ziele. Das kann man wohl auch als Lüge bezeichnen.
