A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the government to formulate a policy to curb the watching of pornography, especially among minors.

The top court bench, led by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, initially appeared not keen on entertaining the plea, but agreed to hear it after four weeks.

“Look what happened in Nepal over a ban,” the bench said, reported NDTV, apparently referring to the Gen Z protest that brought in a regime change in the Himalayan country in September.

Although the violent agitation was focused on a range of issues, including alleged corruption and nepotism, the immediate trigger was the government’s decision to ban several social media platforms.
