Website of Indian 'social network filtering' petitioner defaced

He set the wheels of social network filtering in India in motion, which subsequently kickstarted one of the most important, headline grabbing court cases in recent times, and now, he faced an attack. A petitioner, an Islamic scholar, Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi can be better referred to as the man who took Facebook, Google, YouTube, Yahoo!, among others to court, for having allegedly permitted their users to post objectionable content on their sites, threatening the peace and harmony in the country.

Reportedly, his website, www.fatwaonline.in, which is run by the Islamic Peace Foundation of India is a platform, on which he guides people on matters related to religion and society has been defaced, confirms Hindustan Times. Hackers, reportedly, also left a message on the site, dated 2012-01-03 and the message read - "Probably best not to piss the social networking sites off." Understandably, the hackers aren't too pleased with Mufti Aijaz Arshad Qasmi pursuing the case against social networking sites.
