Late Friday two websites, which were in the list of 32 websites that Indian government recently blocked in the country, said they received no advance warning of the block. This is contrary to what the Modi government has claimed.

So far government officials have maintained that the government approached the websites before blocking them but did not receive any response. On Thursday it issued a press note and said that "contact has also been made with some of the websites" and the ones that agree to police the content would be unblocked.

But statements from the people running CryptBin and Snipt indicate that government probably acted without approaching them.

Nick Sergeant, who runs Snipt, has said on Hacker News that he has received no communication from the Indian government. "I run https://snipt.net, one of the sites listed as being blocked, and I've never received any communication from anyone with the Indian government or ISPs. So they're not proactively doing anything to unblock these sites, as far as I can tell," he wrote.

Earlier on Twitter Sergeant said that "I've not received any communication from Indian govt regarding" Snipt and that "we're sad to have been blocked by the Indian government, as Indian visitors represents 10 per cent of our traffic".

Similar statement has been issued by CryptBin. "Regarding website owners not cooperating, Cryptbin has never been contacted by anyone regarding any offending content related to #GOIBlocks," noted a tweet on a Twitter handle maintained by CryptBin.

Earlier, government also said that it had started unblocking four websites - Vimeo, GitHub, DailyMotion and Weebly. But many users on Friday evening reported that the websites remained inaccessible.

On the Hacker News, developer of Phorkie too said that he had not received any communication from the Indian government. "I'm the developer of phorkie, and I also have not been contacted by anyone official about the block," wrote the developer using ID cweiske.
