Facebook told to remove antireligious posts

INDIA A New Delhi court ordered 21 social-networking sites—including Google, Facebook, and YouTube—to remove antireligious or antisocial content that promotes hatred or communal disharmony. Representatives for Google and Facebook protested the order, saying it isn't possible for the sites to control the content posted by users. Though less than a tenth of India's population has Internet access, it is still the world's third-largest Internet market.

FYI, the first news brief above incorrectly states that the "New Wineskins Assocation" will merge with the ECO; actually they are merging with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), of which they have been a part (as a "transitional presbytery") for a few years.
