In the wake of terror groups using internet to incite religious intolerance, the government has ordered blocking of at least 40 webpages with inflammatory content relating to a minority community, including posts on social media and popular video-sharing platforms.
"Government has issued order under Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking Access of Information by Public) Rules 2009 to block some...videos that could incite minority community," an official source said.
The order to block the online videos, dated June 29, was issued to all internet service providers, who have now blocked most of such posts. However, a few of them are still accessible and the internet service providers claim these can not be blocked totally as they have been posted through a 'secure internet protocol'.
