: ​India has reversed its decision to ban porn and instead focus specifically on child porn.In a notice to Internet service providers, the government has said they "are free to enable all the access to websites where they do not find any child pornography ." The responsibility has now been put on the ISPs to scan through all 857 URLs and take a decision."We are representing to the government to provide more clarity on this directive. Who will be responsible if the site owner updates the website with a child pornographic film which is not known to the ISP?" said Rajesh Chharia ISP Association of India president.: After facing intense flak over blocking 857 porn websites , the largest ever blocking order in the country, Indian Government is lifting the ban on websites that are not promoting child porn.This move comes after ​Department of Telecommunication reviewed the earlier order that blocked access to 857 pornographic websites , but also blocked several non-porn websites like CollegeHumor, 9gag.tv and Liveleak ​among others.Telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told India Today that he has directed ISPs to immediately unblock all those sites which do not contain child pornography. The websites are still blocked at the time of writing this article.Explaining the rationale behind the original directive, Prasad said, "The instant action was basically in obedience to the observation of the Supreme Court where the court asked the department to take action on the list of alleged porn sites provided by the petitioner."Yesterday, the government had rejected claims that it was suppressing freedom of expression "I reject with contempt the charge that it is a Talibani government, as being said by some of the critics. Our government supports free media, respect communication on social media and has respected freedom of communication always," he said.(With PTI inputs)
