We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
@Kian, have you complied with the new IT Rules?
Have you challenged the constitutionality (haven't read about it anywhere)?
Please do provide us with an update.
If you are fully complying with the new regime, you have violated your promise (made to us users) regarding guaranteed confidentiality. Anonymity no longer exists and the harmless cookie you had us store (which you had explained in detail a long time back in some comment) is now a disaster in waiting.
You will get a lot of recommendations for lawyers (if you wish to file, and also seek recommendations here). I am sure that you will also find a lot of talented advocates here who would be more than willing to help.
Y u no answer?

If there has been a change in the Privacy Policy, why not inform people?
We do store redacted and pseudonymised versions of IP addresses to prevent spam. On a more technical level that means: an IP address consists of four bytes (e.g: 255.255.255.255); when we store a comenter's IP address, we drop the last byte of that IP address. Furthermore, in that redacted IP address the first three bytes are then converted into unique words from a dictionary, which is also shuffled randomly regularly.
Any cookies stored on LI don't contain IP addresses or other identifying information to the best of our knowledge. If you have any queries, please do let us know.
In an age where your most intimate chats on your cell phone are decrypted by the government on a regular basis, I can vouch this is more than enough protection for public comments on a news website.
