The Supreme Court on Friday said the Centre’s new guidelines on regulating over-the-top (OTT) platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime have “no teeth” as there is no provision for taking appropriate action against digital platforms showing inappropriate content. 

“We have received the rules you (government) have filed. These rules don’t have any teeth. There is no provision for prosecution. They are just guidelines,” the court added. The apex court also granted protection from arrest to Amazon Prime Video’s India head Aparna Purohit in FIRs lodged over web series Tandav.
