We had filed an #RTI on 29 June 2020 requesting @GoI_MeitY to tell us the number of #websites that had been #blocked between 29 June 2019 and 29 June 2020.
The request was denied by the ministry citing Section 8(1) (a) of the #RITact as well as #Section69A of the #ITact.

However, when @RavneetBittu asked @GoI_MeitY about actions taken by the Gov. against #socialmedia platforms like #Facebook & #Instagram used to incite violence & hatred in society. The data on banned websites was shared along with the response.
We filed an appeal which was also denied. We believe that information such as this which directly impacts our fundamental right to Free speech and expression should be made available to the public.
