Anonymous have just successfully taken down their latest target, this time setting their sights on the Indian authorities, The DNetworks reports.

One of the Anonymous Twitter accounts which has gained quite a following announced the attack earlier today:

India has been making headlines with its purported censorship plans, despite the government’s repeated claims that it has no intention to censor social media. Despite these reassurances, Indian ISPs have gone ahead and blocked a slew of other sites including Vimeo, The Pirate Bay and others. Anonymous has pointed to these clampdowns in particular as the reason behind the attack:

Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck. | #SaveTPB #Anonymous #Censorship — Anonymous Operations (@Anon_Central) May 17, 2012

Anonymous targeted Indian governmental organizations as a result of the country’s censorship tactics, launching ‘MT Operations India.’

Websites taken down as a result of the DDoS attacks include the Supreme Court of India, as well as the All India Congress Committee, both of which remain inaccessible.

While India has repeatedly stated that it will not take a ‘Chinese-style’ approach to blocking content, the government has ordered Facebook and Google to remove objectionable content, while also calling for the social networks to set up dedicated servers in the country.

The move to set up local servers would give the Indian government the ability to scan and regulate content posted on these sites.

Google and Facebook are also still facing legal action in India over what was regarded as a slow response to removing content the government objected to.

While a trial is scheduled to take place on May 23, Facebook and Google’s petition has been adjourned until August. Indian executives of these companies could be facing fines or jail time as a result of the case.
