New Delhi – The central government has taken strict action against several OTT apps and websites for displaying obscene content. Around 25 platforms have reportedly been banned, and internet service providers have been directed to block their access. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued the orders as part of its efforts to regulate digital platforms and prevent the spread of explicit material online.
Prominent platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, ULLU, ALTT, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have also reportedly received notices from the Centre regarding the content they host. This move follows strong criticism from the Supreme Court, which recently stated that the government holds the responsibility to act against such violations, not the judiciary.
