Centre bans ULLU, ALTT & others for streaming ‘soft porn’ under cover of web series

The Indian government has banned several over-the-top (OTT) platforms, including ULLU, ALTT (formerly ALTBalaji), Desiflix, Big Shots, and others, for allegedly distributing obscene and sexually explicit content under the guise of erotic web series.

The ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) acted following multiple complaints and reports indicating these platforms were streaming content described by authorities as “soft porn,” violating India’s IT rules and obscenity laws.
