вЂњUnder the Information Technology Act, WeTransfer is not liable for malicious content as it acts as an intermediary,вЂќ said Gupta. Moreover, added Gupta, clarifying the position would also enable law enforcement to track those responsible for misusing the service. вЂњThat way WeTransfer can defend itself and it breeds accountability for a large number of users who subscribe to the service for legitimate reasons.вЂќ вЂњIf thatвЂ™s the basis, then it needs to be mentioned in the order,вЂќ Gupta said. This is at its very threshold, a transparency problem.вЂќДЄccording to IFF trustee Apar Gupta, the lack of reasoning in the order denies WeTransfer a chance to defend its position. Including the blocking of Telegram and Porn Websites in India. вЂњWe further also indicate the need for wider regulatory reforms that have led to questionable blocking orders in the past. вЂњToday, we sent a representation to DoT urging them to recall this direction,вЂќ the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) said in a statement on Tuesday. вЂњWe will write to the ministry to approach internet service providers to comply with the order,вЂќ the official quoted above said when asked about the ban not being enforced.Дigital rights groups said the ban reflects a lack of transparency. HT could access WeTransfer on some internet service providers. The website has in the past been used by the government, with links to WeTransfer files on the Press Information Bureau (PIB) website. Since the order was issued, several social media users have highlighted the ban, including film editor TS Suresh. ItвЂ™s a matter of national security,вЂќ this person added.ДЄ senior official in the Delhi PoliceвЂ™s cybercrime unit, when asked about WeTransfer, said he was not aware of a specific abuse case, although, this person added, generic alerts had been sent to the home ministry. The request came to us from the Delhi Police cybercrime unit. вЂњWeTransfer was blocked as it was misused by some people to share content in the name of Delhi Police Commissioner and other government officials. вЂњWe get regular requests from the home ministry, ministry of electronics and information technology or even courts to block certain websites,вЂќ said an official in DoT, who asked not to be named. It is now among 4,000-odd websites, which includes pornography sites, that are inaccessible for Indians. WeTransfer was blocked through an order on May 18, which cited вЂњinterest of national security or public interestвЂќ as justification for the ban without giving more details. File-sharing website WeTransfer has been blocked for Indian internet users вЂњin public interest as it was being misusedвЂќ, a department of telecommunications (DoT) official said, amid mounting criticism that the government was censoring access to internet without adequate justification.
