It is not possible to block entire sites that contain porn content. It should be restricted. Children below 18 years are restricted from such sites.
You can't block any content on Internet. If governments were allowed to block porn sites now what will stop them from blocking any site which they don't approve. I don't think government should be allowed any kind of power to manage websites. They might use it for their own political gains. Look at China, they sensor everything.

Very true and perfectly said! Actually even if such sites are blocked, people will always find a way around those restrictions and access whichever site they want to watch. Instead of trying to block only certain sites which is near to impossible, instead people, especially young children should be taught to use internet with responsibility and there also are available a number of means such as firewalls, childlocks etc, to block unwanted sites.

These are excuses. If the Government REALLY wants such sites can be blocked, the way they have been effectively blocked in the Gulf, China etc.

These are not excuses, for your information, one thing is clear that more a thing is banned or prohibited, the more it is sought after! So if they are really banned, it will draw more attention to itself than is being given now. Also, so far as India goes, there is no clear definition of what a porn really is and unless there is a clear ruling against it, the internet service providers cannot ban any sites on their own.
Blocking internet content amounts encroaching on a person's fundamental right and is against the democratic philosophy. Whosoever finds pornography offensive can implement firewalls and other measures that are designed to keep such sites away, why talk about blocking them when they may cater to someone else' s needs?
