A month after VideoLAN, a non-profit that runs the popular VLC Media Player, shot off a legal notice to the government regarding the blocking of an URL, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) unblocked the website, Internet Freedom Foundation informed on November 14. No explanation was reportedly provided by the government with regard to why the URL was blocked.
VICTORY @GoI_MeitY has decided to remove its ban on the website of VLC media player. IFF provided legal support to @videolan throughout this process. (1/3)#WhatTheBlock
