I vaguely recall that it was about restricting certain types of messages online, so I'm leaning towards D as well.

I'm a little unsure about this question. The options seem pretty broad, and I'm not super familiar with the details of this law. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Okay, let me see here. I'm pretty sure this has to do with online content, but I'm not sure exactly what kind of content was prohibited. I'll have to read the options closely.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different options and what Section 66A of the IT Act might have prohibited.

Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to criminalize 'offensive messages'? Talk about a violation of free speech.
