“We are grateful to the government for enforcing the law because such sites are corrupting the minds and moral fiber of society and also lead to crime against women. It leads to social pollution,” said Vijay Panjwani, a lawyer who filed a case against Internet porn. “It is not practical for the government to stop viewers or actors of the pornographic content. That is why we have been saying, ‘Block, block, block’. The easy access to online pornographic content must stop immediately.” 

 

Last month, India’s Supreme Court muddied the waters when it ruled that citizens had a right to watch porn within the privacy of their home, but added that the issue was “definitely serious" and that the government needed "to take a stand.” (This could be used as an excuse by more conservative politicians to push for a reworking of the country's Constitution.)
