Twitter Reacts to the Alleged Porn Ban

Twitterati comes out against the apparent ban on online porn.

Has porn been banned in India? It’s the raging question of the hour. For once, the nation really does want to know.

Last month the Supreme Court had said that it would not ban the private viewing of porn. This report in the Hindu quoted Chief Justice H L Dattu as saying “Such interim orders cannot be passed by this court. Somebody may come to the court and say look I am above 18 and how can you stop me from watching it within the four walls of my room. It is a violation of Article 21 [right to personal liberty.”

Despite this since Saturday porn sites have not been accessible. Real or not, the apparent ban has got the Twitterati reacting.

Govt decides what we cannot see #pornban Govt decides what we cannot eat #beefBan Govt decides when we can drink #25age #GhantaFreedom

I'm sure this is an idea to get the MPs to pay attention during assembly meetings #pornban

@Bodhisatvaa @c_aashish Interestingly Rahul Gandhi may offer to share his porn collection in order to oppose Govt.'s #pornban
