With the discussion on social media platform – Reddit – users said that they were unable to access the porn websites, while rest of then came across the message, “The site has been blocked as per the instructions of Competent Authority.”
The reason behind the ban is still kept in secret that whether Modi government has orchestrated an official ban on porn, but there is growing suspicion that the authorities have sneakily clamped down on these websites over the weekend.
Film director Ram Gopal Verma said that given its popularity, any government which owned up to banning porn would lose the next election.
