Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio has banned hundreds of major pornography websites such as Xvideos, Pornhub, Xnxx, etc on its network. Though the company is yet to release an official statement, the move was noticed by several Jio users who posted messages on blogs.

"I've been trying to load a few of the porn sites but none of them seem to load on the Jio network. Is it just me or are you people facing the same issues?" a Reliance Jio user posted on Reddit. The thread saw multiple users complaining about similar issues subsequently.

Jio subscribers who were trying to access some of the popular porn websites met with a message which says, “You are not authorized to access this web page as per the DoT compliance." Meanwhile, some users also received a ‘connection error’ message.

According to an official statement issued by Reliance Jio, the company has come across reports in media and other websites about the existence of purported JioCoin Apps on the Internet that are soliciting investments in cryptocurrencies from people.

Reliance Jio says that the company is taking a serious note of such fraudulent attempts by unscrupulous persons to misguide the public in the name of Jio and reserves the right to take appropriate legal recourse.

The clarification by Jio comes after a mobile app on Google store was seen with the name of Jio Coin published by Rellance Digital. The tagline of the app said “Jio Coin New Digital Currency for India”. The app had crossed 10,000 downloads by the time Jio issued the statement.
