<P> In an order dated 13 June 2013 , the Department of Telecom ( DoT ) directed Indian Internet service providers ( ISPs ) to block 39 websites . The order did n't specify a reason or law under which the websites were blocked . Most are web forums , where Internet users share images and URLs to pornographic files . However , some of the websites are also image and file hosts , mostly used to store and share files that are not pornographic . While watching or distributing child pornography is illegal in India , watching adult pornography is not . The blocked websites are hosted outside India and claim to operate under the U.S. rule that requires performers to be over 18 years of age . </P>
