I&B ministry issues advisory to OTT platforms over obscene content

The ministry of information and broadcasting has issued an advisory to publishers of online curated content (OTT platforms) and social media regarding alleged spread of obscene, pornographic and vulgar content after having received references from members of Parliament, representations from statutory organizations and public grievances.

The notification comes on the heels of podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia having been caught in the eye of the storm for his controversial remarks on the stand-up show India’s Got Latent on YouTube.
