The government reviews the order blocking 857 websites; lifts ban from websites which do not contain pornographic material.


Early reports say that those websites that are 'hard core' and host child porn remain banned. The government will come up with a new notification on the porn ban soon.


Telecom and IT ministries are reconsidering the porn ban. Yesterday, the government asked telecom operators and internet service providers to block over 800 porn websites.Newspaper reports said that the telecom department had sent an order last week to block 857 porn sites following which service providers have already blocking access to popular porn sites like Pornhub and Brazzers. Users of MTNL, BSNL and ACT broadband have claimed that porn websites were not opening on their systems whereas Airtel, Tata Photon and cable internet users said they haven't faced any such issues yet.
