How does Twitter react to the government blocking porn websites? By coming up with ideas for the next ban, in the most hilarious way possible!
After it was confirmed that the government has issued notices on 31 July to internet service providers across India to block 850 pornographic sites and they have been blocked over the weekend, Twitterati responded by a starting #NextBanIdea, giving the authorities not so friendly advice on what they can ban next. Soon, it was the top Twitter trend all over India and gave us some hilarious jokes.
