Should content on digital platforms be regulated? It is the question of the hour. On February 8, 2019, the Delhi High Court had dismissed the petition to censor content from platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, ALTBalaji, and Hotstar. However, after several PILs (by NGO Justice for Rights) mounting up, the Supreme Court has asked the Centre to look into framing certain guidelines that content providers can adhere to.
While leading Online Curated Content Providers (OCCP) like Netflix, Hotstar, SonyLiv, ALTBalaji, Voot, Arre has imposed a self-regulatory process to censor content, Ekta Kapoor, at the launch of her new telly shows – Kawach Mahashivratri and Bepanah Pyaarr - says that "prohibition will create a bigger want" if content on digital platforms is regulated.
