ISPs in India told to block access to 857 porn sites

Porn is big business online, but it's also at the center of many a debate surrounding decency, child protection, and censorship. The Indian government has ordered that ISPs in the country block access to more than 800 porn sites in a bid to stop children viewing unsuitable material.

Interestingly, while access to porn is being restricted, it is not being blocked outright. The aim is not to stop adults from viewing pornography but to "protect India's cultural fabric" in addition to protecting children.

Adults with a penchant for porn will still be able to get their fix by turning to VPN tools and services. The government is looking for alternative ways to prevent children from accessing online pornography, and it is believed that the current measures are just a stop-gap until a long term policy is written up.

The Hindustan Times quotes a source at the Indian communications ministry who said:

Certain websites have been reviewed and found to be spreading anti-social activities as hyperlinks from these websites, some of them were pornographic, so we have sent letters to internet service providers to block them. The action has been taken in reference to section 79 of IT Act.

Unsurprisingly, the ban has led to a huge number of complaints. ISPs around the country took action to respond to letters from Department of Telecommunications about implementing blocks, and pornophiles took to Twitter using the #PornBan hashtag to express disappointment at what many regard as censorship and an infringement on rights.

Anyone think there is a big link between access to porn and the rape attacks going on in India ?

Suddenly all this guys(rich & poor)have cheap mobiles or access to internet who wouldn't have seen such things in the past.

I wouldn't be worried if in the U.K there was a clamp down on porn sites.

I think they are doing a lot of damage to young impressionable minds.

I know it goes against keeping the net free from government interference and all that ,but some of the stuff that is easily available out there is pretty shocking .

God knows how it affects kids who see this stuff.

& that should be and is parent's responsibility, its called parenting. You should control what your children watch & do, give them proper guidance and not expect the government to the parenting for you. Only exception to this is child porn. Thats just my opinion!

Advanced Users will also know how to block or permit a site (any site) — regardless of what the Government decides to censor or allow. 8)

Come on ,no amount of good parenting is gonna help.

Kids are naturally curious,even if by some incredible miracle you manage to stop them accessing such things.

You can't stop other people sending stuff to your kids .

Some kids enjoy shocking others.

The genie is out of the bottle ,so to speak.

Watch out! This government wants to dictate what Indians shall watch . . . . . . . and also what they shall eat (with different yardsticks) — some more exciting things are on the anvil. zDLbIxl.gif

BTW, eating beef is legal in Goa, rest of the states, it is not — thank you for voting these Sadfcuks to power (you sowed the seed of not only dictatorship — but also, discrimination.) :clap: :clap:

actually i think it's the opposite. all those peaceful fappers that used to get their fix on the internet, no are out in the street looking for alternatives.

also porn already existed and was very popular even before the internet was invented.

you know what taboo causes? morbid curiosity/pleasure.

So now we have young kids sexually assaulting each other and men who never previously had access to the internet are raping women because they can't control themselves after oogling stuff on their mobiles/internet.

I don't think you can call this progress.

When i was a kid the most you saw was a picture or magazine someone dropped on the pavement and the closest you came to sex was maybe kissing the goodlooking girl behind the school :)

Though we have had big problems in th U.K with certain groups of men abusing some of our girls.

As they say, there is no owner of the Internet, then who is the govt. to put restriction on it?

There is always a other way for most of the things in the world. If this is to prevent minors from watching porn, they already know, if to solve an equation you can't use 2+2, what's next in the option to be used. People will always try to find a way out to their favorite things.

Anyway, in democracy, this thing won't gonna work as majority of the people who votes for you are fappers not minors. You don't let them fap, they won't vote for you.
