News India Live, Digital Desk: The Government of India has taken a big and strict step regarding the regulation of digital content. The government has banned more than 20 such apps and websites, including OTT platform Ullu, Alt Balaji, Moodx, which were allegedly promoting vulgar and objectionable materials. This decision is an important initiative towards tightening of those online platforms, which broadcast ‘Exampland Bed Sies’ or clear adult materials, and which are often considered harmful to the youth.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has issued this order using its powers received under IT rules. The government says that these platforms were violating the digital media ethics code, giving clear instructions to stop objectionable materials. This action is especially targeted on apps that often provide clear material on the phone directly without any age verification or content rating.
These apps and websites often make access to youth and children easily, which can have negative effects on their morality and mentality. This move of the government is being seen towards child safety, maintaining moral values in the society and preventing the spread of obscene materials. Some of the ban applied apps also include platforms such as ‘BigSots’, whose name came out indirectly in the original article with ‘bed scenes’.
The government has earlier committed to regulate objectionable materials on digital media and this ban is a proof of this commitment. Under IT rules, this right empowers the government to control the inappropriate content on digital platforms.
This ban will have a significant impact on the manufacturers and users of these platforms. On the other hand, it can help promote a clean and responsible content ecosystem in India’s rapidly growing OTT market. The government has made it clear that it will not hesitate to take action against any such platform or content in the future, which will be found to be violating the rules.
