Shocking censorship in India, visiting torrent sites in India could land you in jail for three years as well as a fine of $4,500
The last couple of months have been really tough on torrent users. First, Kickass Torrent was taken down after its founder was arrested, then Torrentz was shut down casting a doom on the torrent users. And the drama continues.
According to a report by India Today, you can now get three-year jail sentence as well as a fine of Rs. 3 lakh for trying to visit URLs that are banned by the Indian government. Over the past few years, the Indian government with the support Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or under the directive of the courts have blocked thousands of websites and URLs.
In August 2015, the government banned at least 857 sites for their pornographic contents. Additionally, the government also banned about 170 objectionable sites.
