▰ Conclusion
WHAT IS AN OTT PLATFORM ?
▰ An over-the-top (OTT) media service may be a
media service offered on to viewers via the web .
OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite TV
platforms, the kinds of companies which
traditionally act as controllers or distributors of
such content.
▰ It has also been used to describe no-carrier cell
phones, where all communications are charged
as data, avoiding monopolistic competition, or
apps for phones that transmit data during this
manner, including both people who replace other
call methods and people that update software.
WHAT IS CENSORSHIP ?
▰ Censorship the suppression of speech, public
communication, or other information. this might
be done on the idea that such material is taken
into account objectionable, harmful, sensitive,
or "inconvenient.
▰ Censorship are often conducted by
governments, private institutions, and other
controlling bodies.
WHY DO WE NEED CENCORSHIP ?
▰ To Protect against hate and violence.
▰ To prevents certain groups ,religious sectors and
people from getting offended.
▰ To Protect children from unhealthy content.
▰ To provides us with a way to stop false content.
▰ To avoid virus and spam messages.
▰ To Stop illegal materials in internet.
▰ Some uneducated peoples may not know complex
ideas in politics.
▰ To minimize risks in national security.
GOVERNMENT’S TAKE ON THE ISSUE
▰ The Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Law
and Justice, Electronics, Information and Technology,
Telecom and CBFC do not exercise any sort of jurisdiction
over such platforms. The Government considers such
platform to be intermediaries where they cannot exercise
jurisdiction.
▰ In 2016, Justice for Rights, an NGO filed a petition [W.P.
(C) 11164/2018] before the Delhi High Court, alleging that
Hotstar displayed soft-pornographic, unethical and
religiously inadequate content and this promotes disrespect
to the country, objectifies women, engages children in
criminal activities, and somewhere promotes terrorism.
Reason For The Arousal Of
censorship of OTT platforms
▰ The most recent issue surrounding OTT's was the toilet
Oliver show on Hotstar, where he actively criticized
Narendra Modi and CAA and therefore the show was
further blocked on Hotstar. an identical incident occurred
on Hasan Minaj's show that addressed Lok Sabha
Elections, 2019 and was highly criticised later.
▰ However, Netflix didn't succumb to the pressure. Shows
like Sacred Games was criticised because it mentioned
some speculative lines on Rajeev Gandhi and also
mentioned about the Bofors scam. Leila was criticised
because it hurt the sensation of Hindus by promoting
Hindu phobia. it had been highly criticised by viewers.
REASON FOR THE AROUSAL OF CENSORSHIP OF
OTT PLATFORMS
INDIANS ON CENSORSHIP
▰ As per a survey by YouGov, 57% of individuals
support partial censorship for online streaming.
They think that tons of offensive content i.e.,
unsuitable for public viewing is put abreast of
such platforms. Majority of the people supporting
censorship are adults of the age above 40s.
▰ However, the strongest arguments against such
censorship is that the content on OTT platforms
are Subscription on Demand, where viewers have
option to pay and choose what to observe .Apart
from this, the piracy of flicks is another factor why
filmmakers take the route of OTT.
CELEBRITIES ON THE CENCORSHIP OF OTT PLATFORMS
CONCLUSION
▰ Looking at this scenario, the necessity for an unbiased
regulatory body may be a must. the web Content Streaming
can't be controlled by a self-regulatory body. The body shall
distinguish responsible content for regulation. The OTT
platforms and therefore the Government shall work together on
this and end this issue once and for all.
▰ The public today is trying to find content that brings out the
reality of the society, deals with socio-political issues, provides us
regional varieties and utmost importantly doesn't hurt the
emotions of one class of individuals . Hence, these regulatory
gaps and grey areas are alarming.

lynching is to justice”
