37% rural youth sans Internet access: Study
Content regulation on the Internet is at the forefront of discussion in India due to a build up of events over the past 12 months. Last August the Department of Telecommunications tried to prevent telecommunication providers from allowing their customers to access 857 pornographic websites. This mandate was immediately appealed and subsequently overturned by the Supreme Court. Then, just a few weeks ago the Supreme Court has provided further clarification about how existing ‘decency’ law could apply in an online context. Though the intention of the initial mandate from the DoT to block porn was focused on child pornography the Supreme Court is seeking a much wider review.
