India Blocks: Mass blocking of web services by Indian Government

[Sushubh]

Blocking of porn sites temporary, final call after SC ruling: DoT official - Livemint

“We have only disabled the websites and not banned them,” the official said. “Once the (Supreme) Court gives its ruling on the case, then we will take a final call,” the official added.

Oh my. They have disabled the websites!

Most of these sites are hosted in US or Europe which has struct anti child pornography laws.Hence these sites have no child pornography.And as SC said you cant stop anyone from watching porn in his home.

except for the fact that we would overtake china wrt population in the next decade or so! i bet indian news media would be celebrating the achievement. we are not really at the top on many charts.

Fools at Telecom Department blocked entire file sharing sites because there were some porn uploaded to these sites. Great logic.

So if someone uploads a porn to Google drive, Telecom department will block whole Google network?!

Earlier, many file sharing sites are blocked under Blanket Bans by DoT. I use proxy/Google DNS to download academic material (ebooks, softwares etc) from these blocked sites.

Its actually a part of Make in India campaign. Shutting down foreign porn sites so that people get engaged into Desi porn sites.

At least they did something for Make in India campaign.

congress blocked sites as well. do you really think that a 'third front' would be respectful of your right to expression? every political party is in favor of right to expression as long as it is in opposition. but things change when you are in power and you need the tools to keep a check on your opponents and the public in general.

this nation is not only sexually frustrated with ban on sex toys now we are sexually starved too with this ban too, sex crimes existed even before these porn sites popped up , I just don't understand the logic , at least our anncestors have openly embraced sex with kamasutra

We have a government run by the ideology of RSS.
