It gives a misleading impression that clones of 123movie were proliferating in or from India specifically. However, that is not the case since these clones were not hosted in or originating from India, and even the linked reference Hindi news article - https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/india/123movies-hd-movies-website-is-still-online-even-after-ban/articleshow/65812044.cms simply says that clones of 123movie are proliferating on internet and accessible in India despite a ban by Indian government. The news article makes no claim about proliferation in or from India.
So this line "While the website was blocked in India, numerous clones of the website proliferated in India in 2018." should be deleted or at least changed to say "While the website was blocked by several countries e.g. India, numerous clones of the website proliferated on internet in 2018 circumventing these bans."Muditjai (talk) 16:30, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
