Reddit and Indiankanoon.org blocked
We reported earlier this month that Reddit has been blocked by several mobile service providers in certain circles of Jio and Vodafone, and by ISPs like You Broadband and JioFiber, without specifying the reason for the block. Users later reported that the site was live on multiple service providers.
Last week, the Indiankanoon.org website was blocked on multiple Jio connections in several circles, Jio cited a government order that ordered the ban. However, Indiankanoon.org later became accessible on Jio.
The people whose traffic we can see coming from @dependjio in violation of the DoT order they received. Can others confirm? https://t.co/u5jVgenHss
