SC issues notices on ‘obscene’ OTT content, seeks responses from Centre and streaming platforms

The Supreme Court on Monday sought responses from the Centre and OTT and social media platforms on a plea to curb unregulated “obscene, objectionable and indecent” content.

A bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and George Augustine Masih issued notices to the Union government, Netflix, Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon Prime, ALTT, ULLU Digital and MUBI on a PIL filed by former information commissioner Uday Mahurkar.
