This is a U turn government. already reports are coming that it is a temporary measure.

I feel the decision is hasty. This I feel would be taken back as there are spate of complaints pouring in both from the public and the press.

I think, it is honorable Supreme Court's observation that compels government to implement this. This has been implemented on government owned internet services. Airtell and other services are not adhering to government order, This mean it is not binding on service providers.

Telecom company executives said it was not possible to block all the sites immediately. "We have to block each site one by one and it will take a few days for all service providers to block all the sites,"

The supreme cort has imposed a temporary ban on 860+ sites untill the apex court reaches to a final decision. I am neither in favor or against the ban but cant see a logic for keeping such sites online. Hoewer one is free to see or act as per his own will within his privacy.

When has ban worked anywhere  that it will work here. Like alcohol advertising in India porn will be seen in pious websites. Wait and watch.

I can understand. Recently Supreme court in its verdict said viewing porn in privacy is not an offense. But among the sites banned now I found there are sites sans porn like college humour. This is an act done in a hurry..

No nothing is done in a hurry. The babus are very smart. They have met the quantity target but left the quality untouched. Got it.

Is it so? But one of the sites is College Humor in the banned list. This made me think that the banned list was made in a hurry. I agree with you that Babus met with their quantity target.

In fact ban has no meaning since it can't be implemented. Even China with all the powers in hands failed miserably imposing any such ban on millions of X rated websites which manage to pass through all filters.
