Indian censorship of porn now stupider

India's Porn Ban Reversal Is Essentially Bullshit

 ISPs were given the incredibly vague directive from the Communication and
Technology ministry that they are “free not to disable any of the 857
URLs,” provided the sites are child-porn free. There is, however, no
mechanism in place for determining this kind of content.

__

So now, in fear of contempt of court, ISPs will actually require their
employees to monitor porn sites. It's a tough job, looking at large numbers
of porn video and images, but between the courts and the IT ministry, it's
been decided who is going to employ the people to do it.

The government is dragging its feet on Internet censorship, it is the
courts -- and the vigilante idiots who go to them with such matters --
taking the lead.
