The blocking of porn websites in India, which started with Reliance Jio last week, seems to have permeated to other networks. Now, Airtel and Vodafone also appear to have shut access to the 827 pornographic websites, after the order from High Court of Uttarakhand.

Airtel too has blocked porn sites.
Of course, there are ways to access the block sites, using VPNs or proxy sites to bypass the lock-out.

In a parallel news : porn is all open in BSNL Broadband. Immediately shift.
In the end, it makes us wonder if this halfway ban is even working let alone preventing crimes against women, which seems to have been the primary reason behind the High Court ruling. if porn sites are actually easily accessible, then there isn’t really a ban, at least not a serious one, or perhaps there’s something amiss in the way it’s been implemented by the telcos and service providers considering the government overturned the last ban.
