NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today sought to know from internet service provider Google whether it could "prevent" uploading of obscene contents like videos of sexual violence on websites.A bench of Justices M B Lokur and U U Lalit asked Google about its internal mechanism or "in-house procedure" to identify such obscene contents posted on websites and also about "how much can they do to prevent it". "Can you not prevent it? They would get such contents deleted or withdrawn within 36 hours of receipt of information.However, the bench asked, "Take for instance, nobody has reported (about any such material), do you act on your own to decipher it? We are asking, is it possible for you or not? Actually it is not possible for us...It is not something which we can discover on our own.
