Creators of toon porn star savita bhabhi ask fans to file RTI pleas against ban

For more than a year, she had been the defining image of voyeurism in India. But now, she is under fire, and she needs your help.

Launched in March 2008, Savita Bhabhi "a regular Indian woman who just can't get enough sex" was an instant hit with Indian netizens, attracting 60 millionu00a0 visitors each month.

The 82nd most visited Indian website has been banned by the Department of Telecommunication, Ministry of IT and Telecom, for promoting obscenity.


However, the developers of the website have launched a "Save Savita" movement on the Internet, asking fans to file RTI pleas, seeking a reply from the government as to why only Savita Bhabhi is being "targeted" when hundreds of other such websites go unchecked.

"This project is an attempt to give a voice to all those Savita Bhabhi fans who want to speak out and do something about this act of censorship.

The Save Savita project will also help donate towards other anti-Internet censorship projects like Picidae around the world," said the Save Savita project website, a link to which is posted on the Savita Bhabhi website.

The administrator of the website, Deshmukh, has also created accounts on social-networking websites Twitter and Facebook to garner support against the ban.

In one of the posts on the Twitter account, Deshmukh sought help from Indian fans: "The RTI Act applicable in India was just brought to my notice by a fan.

Unfortunately, since no one in the Savita Bhabhi team is an Indian citizen, we cannot use it. Would appreciate if someone can take this up on our behalf."

Creators of the toon porn website are known by their screen names. Based in Europe, the site's owners were not notified of theu00a0 ban.

Support has already started pouring in. Fans are posting links to alternative sites from where Savita Bhabhi can be accessed.

Meaningless

Meanwhile, cyber experts feel that the ban would be of no help. Cyber crime expert Sunny Vaghela said, "The developers can change the proxy of the website and make it accessible.

If the government is really serious about stopping the access to the portal, they must take action against the moderators."

Added cyber law expert Pawan Duggal, "The creators of Savita Bhabhi can challenge the ban, arguing that it is an expression of their thoughts and what is expressed is not lascivious.

They can also argue that when there is so much explicit pornographic content accessible easily on the Internet, why should they be singled out?"
