Supreme Court issues notice to Yahoo, MSN and Google

Internet: a bane or a boom, has been a common topic for discussion. However there is no denying the fact that the Internet has brought along with it quite a few vices.

Proving the point the Supreme Court of India has issued notices to the big three in the internet business, Yahoo, MSN and Google for showing advertisements promoting or encouraging female foeticide.

Online advertisements that promote sex determination tests have invited such an action by the Supreme Court. According to Indian Preconception and Prenatal Diagnostics Techniques act - PC-PNDT the determination of the sex of unborn baby is illegal. The act also prohibits any advertisements for the same. However the internet is being blatantly used by unscrupulous operators.

However the top three companies need to take a serious note of the issue.
The catch here is that such advertisements are permitted in some foreign countries.
