Context: A study shows that website blocking or internet censorship in India varies across internet service providers, leading to inconsistent access despite government orders.
- Internet censorship: Government control over online content access.
- ISPs (Internet Service Providers) Companies providing internet (e.g., Jio, Airtel); They implement blocking orders issued by Government under IT Act 2000.
- IT Act, 2000 (Sections 69A, 79): Legal basis for blocking websites.
- DNS (Domain Name System): Converts website names into IP addresses;
- DNS blocking: Prevents access by stopping domain name resolution.
- Lack of uniform implementation leads to uneven censorship.
- Transparency issues: Users often unaware why content is blocked.
- Balance needed between national security and freedom of speech (Article 19).
