A PIL filing prompted the Supreme Court to issue a notice to the Central Government along with Prime Video and Netflix and ALTT (Alt Balaji) and Ullu and social platforms for appropriate action against obscene OTT content. Such content has created major concerns for the court thus leading the center towards taking action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judges consisting of Justice BR Gavai and Justice AG Masih took note of the genuine concern that emerged from the PIL. According to the bench&#8217;s statement in its order the petition brings forth essential issues related to the presentation of indecent material along with obscene and objectionable content on social media and OTT platforms. The Learned Solicitor General admits that these content materials cross the line into perversion. The Solicitor General declared new regulatory measures were upcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The court has sent notice to the Centre, Netflix, Prime, AltBalaji, Ullu Digital, Mubi, X Corp, Google, Meta Inc. and&nbsp;Apple. This has come after the apex court asked the Union, while hearing Ranveer Allahbadia&#8217;s case, to consider bringing in regulations on obscene content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All about Ranveer Allahbadia&#8217;s case<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, Allahbadia was at the centre of the controversy after his clip from&nbsp;<em>India&#8217;s Got Latent&nbsp;<\/em>went viral in which he is asking a lewd question to a contestant. This led to several cases against the YouTuber in&nbsp;Maharashtra ,&nbsp;Assam and Jaipur. His channel was also banned for a brief period by the court and was released after he stated that it was affecting the livelihood of his employees. Following the incident, the Supreme Court asked the Centre to take appropriate measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A PIL was filed seeking direction from the Centre to take appropriate measures regarding the obscene content on OTT and social media&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
