SC makes it clear: Govt will have to ban Porn

[Navjot Singh]

The Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to various ministries of the central government on a PIL seeking modification of internet laws to make watching pornography a non-bailable offence.A bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices A R Dave and Vikramjit Sen issued notice on Kamlesh Vaswani's petition saying existing laws had failed to prohibit proliferation of internet pornography and alleged that it was affecting the younger generation and resulting in increasing sexual assaults on women.
Appearing for the petitioner, senior advocate M N Krishnamani said the government urgently needed to take pro-active steps to block all pornographic websites as they were affecting the "peace of mind, health and wellness, happiness and human potential".

Fuck me.

 

[Navjot Singh]

We are becoming a nation of hypocrites. Talking about development on one hand and introducing archaic laws on the other hand.

 

[Sushubh]

I am this close to enabling bitlocker on my computer.

 

[Navjot Singh]

You should. Sigh. Can't let this government mess with us. I am wondering how will our MPs watch porn on their mobiles now? Shouldn't they be protesting against it?

 

[Sushubh]

Well. I am assuming the focus is on getting adult sites banned.

 

[Navjot Singh]

Probably. But then these idiots have forgotten that by trying to ban these sites, they will actually make them popular. Very soon even those sites which we might not have heard of will be known to everyone.

Let them first try to get rid of obscene content on regular sites visited by everyone.

 

[Sushubh]

Well... If they change the law, it becomes very easy for them to start blocking regular web services found to be hosting pornographic content.

 

[Navjot Singh]

Well then first site I would love to see blocked is Hotklix. Shame to see how TOI has managed to run it all these years.
