Hyderabad: Stringent Internet restrictions are in the offing in order to curb pornography in Telangana. Taking a cue from Netherland’s model Internet pornography curb, the government is now putting in place an army of the best IT experts for a defense mechanism.
The IT minister has given the nod to police and ethical hackers to launch a Hackathon on pornography as a brainstorming session, and the government will implement the restrictions based on the outcome.
As the Poonam Malakondaiah Committee on safety of women and children suggested that extensive transmission of child pornography and general pornography has caused an increase in sexual crimes, IT and panchayati raj minister K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday met Cyberabad police commissioner C.V. Anand and top ethical hackers in the state to plan the move.
