The Supreme Court has taken a significant step by issuing notices to the central government and major OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube. The court is addressing a public interest litigation (PIL) that demands action against explicit content on these platforms. The PIL also names social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, and X.
A Growing Concern
The PIL highlights the need for stricter regulations on OTT platforms and social media to curb the spread of obscene content. The Supreme Court has acknowledged the seriousness of the issue and is seeking the government’s response on the measures being taken to address it.
- The court is looking for concrete steps to control explicit content.
- The government is expected to provide a detailed report on its actions.
- The PIL has brought attention to the lack of effective regulation in the industry.
The Supreme Court’s move is seen as a crucial step towards ensuring that OTT platforms and social media comply with existing laws and guidelines. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the future of content regulation in the country.
