Newsclick interviewed Prarbir Purkayastha, Chairperson of the Society for Knowledge Commons on the recent issue of porn-ban by the Government of India. Purkayastha said that pornography is an age-old issue and the society has to take a final call on this. Hence, it would be untimely to ban it. He cited that the principle behind the enforcement of bans itself as a problem. The government, in banning porn, is going beyond the Supreme Court directive and the Constitution line, by treating private players as intermediary owner. Banning porn is also a practical problem since because of the availability of different proxies and IP options. Purkayastha, however, stressed that there can be no debate on the banning of child porn as there is a consensus on that issue.
