DoT accidently ban Times of India along with 857 Porn sites.

In its crackdown on websites that host or provide links to pornographic content, the Indian government has failed to separate the wheat from the chaff. Among the 857 blocked websites, India’s largest Entertainment website, the Times of India’s name is also there, which doesn’t even offer pornographic material.

“I really don’t get how the Govt can dub us as pornographic website when we offer pure entertainment to our audience.” Said Rajdeep Dutt a senior Editor at the TOI, he added “I mean just check our links like ‘Hottest bikini Trend’, ‘celebs who went nude for magazine cover’, ‘Five things women want before sex’, these are entertainment items sold as news and not nudity sold as entertainment. Who will explain all this high class stuff to these classless swadeshi jingoist?”

The news had a very strong and detrimental impact on the psyche of the single community at large. Rohit Mishra a third year B.Tech student of who was yet to recover from the ban on Maggi went numb when he heard the news of 857 porn sites getting blocked. While he somehow managed to recover from the shock, the news of even the Times of India getting blocked sent him to a state of coma.

“The advent of online porn had made our hard disk redundant so we stopped storing porn on our systems altogether. But this sudden ban on porn sites along with the Times of India has left us unprepared for the worst. We want a recall on the ban for at least a month, so that we can download and store porn, thus build our inventory till the time we get married.” Said a Rahul Baba, president of the Single Samaj Party (SSP) while he was buying a removable hard disk for 128 Tera byte for storing porn.

In other related news, it’s not just the news sites that have been affected by the ban, but even the news makers might get affected by it. DoT has said that the next crack down could be on Television channels who show nudity in the name of news and entertainment. This might mean that even LOk Sabha and Rajya Sabha TV might get banned, for showing MPs watching porn on their mobiles during assembly sessions.
