A Suspected Government Ban Is Ensuring Indians Don’t Get Access To Porn


Unless you have been living under a rock (and it better be a gigantic one) you couldn't have missed the cries of help from people whose beloved porn has been taken away. Over 800 porn websites sites are currently inaccessible in India through various internet service providers (ISPs). Various MTNL, BSNL and ACT ISP users are crying foul looking at the blank pages flashing the message: "The site has been blocked as per the instructions of Competent Authority." We feel you. With less than a fortnight to go for Independence Day, Indians are facing a severe shortage of adult sites. Many adult websites were reported on Saturday to be inaccessible by internet users throughout the country. Why the mind-f*ck, GoI? The nation wants to know! Source: Mirror



Swachh internet, much?

According to data from Pornhub, one of the world’s largest porn sites, Indians are among the most 'prolific consumers' of internet pornography, accounting for 40% of its 14.2 billion visits. Mizoram consumes most porn and Delhi finishes a close second, the data revealed, adding that Canadian-Indian actress Sunny Leone is the most searched-for porn star in the country, Hindustan Times reported.

On the other hand, a section of activists have been campaigning for a ban on internet pornography, especially sites with abusive and child pornography, while others consider the move a brazen attack on individual freedom. There is also a strong debate on whether watching violent and fetishist porn encourages violence against women and sexism, HT reported.

What's with all the internet cleansing, dearest Government of India? We love you and all but at least spare a thought for all your Members of Parliament... how are they going to waste their precious time now? These are definitely not what the promised acche din were supposed to be like.



Film director and producer Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter to air his opinion. The same chap who made Aag is now making some valid points through his extra-long rant:
