This is very positive suggestion by the Chief Justice of India Mr.K G Balakrishnan. He suggested the government of india to take some action on banning the pornography websites and websites that display Hate speeches as well. Cyber crime department is already closely monitoring the sites that creates issues with public and pornography related contents as well to ban after the complaints received by public or news media. But the suggestion by chief justice is to restrict all the porn sites that are currently viewable in the country. Ofcourse, this is a great measure to protect childrens of now and future to not fall for these crimes.

The Lok Sabha passed a host of new amendments to the Information Technology Act – last modified in 2000 when the Internet was still a novelty. That is to warn the people who email porn contents to anyone and in turn if any complaints received that may land up the sender in prison.

Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan on Sunday suggested that the government should impose a ban on websites that exclusively display pornography and hate speeches.”For local jurisdiction, there are problems on account of the structure of the flow of information over the internet. End users can fake identities using proxy servers to misguide the investigating agencies. The government can place ban on websites that exclusively circulate pornography and hate speeches,” he said.”However, it would not be right to place a blanket ban on all categories of websites.

It is also important to distinguish between intermediaries such as network service providers, website operators and individual users for the purpose of placing liabilities,” Balakrishnan said.He made the suggestion while inaugurating the ‘Cyber Law Enforcement Programme and National Consultation Meeting’ organised by the Supreme Court in association with the Cyber Appellate Tribunal, Ministry of Communication Information Technology, Department of Information Technology and the National Legal Services Authority.Judges, top cops of various states and cyber technology experts participated at the meeting held at the NASC Complex.
