If you are from India and unable to visit Pastebin, kindly email us.
No prior information, no explanations, no notice, simple block.
The ISPs in India are setting a bad precedent of freedom of speech .
@githubdown in India!
Like GitHub, Pastebin also is a very popular tool for developers and students.
The Pastebin web service provides anyone to store pastes in plain text and almost all popular coding languages.
Like every other Internet service, Pastebin has its flaws.
It has been used by cybercriminals to fleece users with fake data leaks or credit card details.
But the positives always outweigh the negatives in the long run.
Yesterday, Vodafone apparently blockedImgur accessto its users inadvertently.
Later on the issue was resolved and Imgur is now available across all ISPs.
The ban does exactly the opposite.
It makes normal internet users use proxy services and VPNs to access what should normally be available for them.
Hope the Indian government looks into the matter with a long term perspective rather than short sighted ban.
