Written by Deepak

Two days ago, we mentioned that Govt. of India has blocked all major porn websites in India, and its confirmed, since a copy of leaked DOT order has surfaced over the internet listing all the 857 websites to be blocked under the provision of section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act 2000 as the content hosted on these websites relate to morality and decency as given in Article 19(2) of Constitution of India.

A letter was issued by Department of Telecommunication (DOT) ordering internet service providers (ISPs) to block the listed websites.

According to Times of India article, this block comes into action in a bid to curb child pornography, in line with a 2013 petition filed by Indore-based advocate Kamlesh Vasvani and had taken into consideration the list of websites he has provided.
