Eleven websites banned by India
By Bala Shah

Bangalore based The Centre for Internet and Society describes its vision and mission to ‘critically engage with concerns of digital pluralism, public accountability and pedagogic practices, in the field of Internet and Society, with particular emphasis on South - South dialogues and exchange’. CIS filed a RTI with the Govt of India and has scooped the list of banned websites.

The Centre of Internet Society (CIS)’s Pranesh Prakash filed an RTI with the Department of Information Technology (DIT) to source this previously secret information.  CIS has eloquently and thoroughly analyzed the implications of these blocks, as well as the shortcomings of the DIT's response.

The eleven websites that the DIT acknowledges are blocked in India are:

1.www.zone-h.org
2.donotdial100.webs.com
