![]() ![]() The IFF on Tuesday said that it helped draft the legal notice sent to DoT and MeitY. The blocking of the website for the popular media player was widely covered by news organisations, while eliciting responses from users on social media. In its legal notice to the DoT, Jean-Baptiste Kempf, President and lead VLC developer of VideoLAN states that the organisation noticed that its website was blocked earlier this year, without any prior notice. Earlier this year, digital liberties organisation Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) was informed by MeitY that it did not have any information regarding the blocking of VideoLAN's website in the country. The creator of the popular open source video player has asked the DoT for a copy of the reasoned blocking order issued for the banning of its website, as well as an opportunity to defend its case through a virtual hearing. VLC Media Player developer VideoLAN has issued a notice to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) over the blocking of its website in India. ![]()
