Indian govt lifts ban on VLC media player

VLC media player is back again. The Ministry of Electronics and IT earlier this year banned the website owing to security concerns.

VideoLan, the parent company, received notice regarding the ban of its app and website in India in February 2022. In September, the company sent a legal notice seeking to know the reasons behind the ban.

According to reports, the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) extended legal support to VideoLAN in this matter.

Announcing the lift of the ban on Twitter, IFF asked users to contact the organisation with details of their internet service provider if they are unable to access VLC Media Player in India via violan.org. The Hindu BusinessLine
