Site can be retrieved in only 2 hours
The government had last year asked internet providers to block 827 porn sites.
Hyderabad: It takes just two hours to recreate a banned website and experts feel, this way, it is near impossible to block porn sites.
The government had last year asked internet providers to block 827 porn sites. But, obviously, the list keeps growing and there’s little that can be done with just one list in hand.
“It will take five minutes to register a new domain, redirect database and within two hours the website can be brought to a live view,” said Mr Sridhar Nallamothu of Computer Era magazine. “If, say, XYZ site is blocked, as a website owner I can create a domain within 2 hours. I can deploy a database with the same content and create a new site. Such sites cannot be blocked, as it will take time before it is brought to the government’s notice. Soon the entire world will know of the presence of the new site with the old content.”
