This is massive because this law (section 66A) has been used extensively in the past to enforce internet censorship due to it's vague wording on 'objectionable' material. At different times, pastebin, github, youtube, facebook ..etc links have been blocked due to silly application of this law. Worse still people have been charged and jailed for just sharing or liking articles on FB or twitter. Good riddance for something that shouldn't have existed in the first place. There still is some hope for my country.
