The ban imposed by the government of India doesn’t seem to be achieving its objectives as internet users are shifting towards proxy sites to access the banned sites. I have already mentioned of such proxy sites via which the users can have access to the banned sites. The Internet Service Providers Association of India has also accepted that the sites could be accessed despite all the ISPs blocking it at their end.
In the mean time, Indian blogging community has shown its rage against the ban on blogspot since Indian ISPs have blocked the whole site despite the fact that government has asked to block certain pages only.
ISPs put their point forth by saying that it’s not possible for them to block specific blogs. That is the reason they have to close the entire site. Mr Kiran Karnik, President, Nasscom cited that the ban on blogs was ‘neither desirable nor feasible.’ The news in the air is that more web sites will be added to the list of banned sites very soon.
Anyway, that is not going to create any problems for the internet users, thanks to the proxy sites.
