Jammers in Schools to Block Porn Sites

In its bid to curb students from accessing websites having child pornographic content, the government has come up with the idea of installing jammers in schools.

While hearing a petition, the Supreme Court has sought the Centre for a report on the precautionary steps that are being taken to curb the menace of child pornography. In response, the Centre said that it has advised the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) to install jammers in schools to refrain students from accessing porn websites.

“Steps are being taken to deal with child pornography in its entirety. Around 3,500 websites hosting Porn content have been blocked last month,” the government said.
