Difficult to block porn sites: Centre to Supreme Court
With the Supreme Court hearing a Public Interest Litigation demanding blocking of porn sites, especially those on child pornography, the centre told the apex court that "there are around four crore websites and when we block one, a new one comes along."
The government said the servers of these sites are located outside India and so it is even more difficult to crack down on them.
The centre has set up a committee to address the issue.
The court sought an update on the committee's work and held that "laws must be faster than technology."
