The Indian government’s renewed emphasis on cautioning OTT platforms regarding explicit and offensive content comes as a response to the growing concerns about the impact of such material on viewers. Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Anurag Thakur, addressed the issue in Parliament, advocating for self-regulation by these platforms to maintain a responsible and culturally sensitive content landscape.

 

In a recent meeting with executives from major OTT platforms, the government made its stance clear on addressing the increasing number of complaints against objectionable content. Thakur stressed the significance of adopting self-regulation policies by these platforms to ensure content aligns with societal norms and values.

Earlier this year, Thakur had voiced the government’s worries over the surge in obscenity and abusive language in over-the-top content. He firmly asserted that content creators should not misuse creative freedom to promote abusive or offensive material, emphasizing the ministry’s willingness to consider rule changes if needed.

 

The government’s actions are a part of its efforts to strike a balance between creative freedom and content responsibility in the digital space. Instances of content that crosses the line have led to regulatory actions in the past, with web series like Mirzapur and Tandav facing scrutiny on Amazon Prime Video.

 

The Cinematograph Amendment Bill, 2023, is another important aspect of the government’s agenda. It aims to tackle the issue of film piracy by implementing stringent penalties for unauthorized cam-cording and duplication of films. This move is expected to discourage piracy and safeguard the interests of filmmakers.

 

However, some concerns arose within the film industry regarding a specific section of the Cinematograph (Amendment) Bill. There were apprehensions about the possibility of re-examination and potential delays in releasing films already approved by the censor board. To address these concerns, Thakur clarified that the censor board would remain an independent body, and the revision committee would include unbiased members. Moreover, film certification would now remain valid indefinitely, allowing films with an ‘adult’ rating to be aired on television with appropriate amendments.

 

The government’s multi-faceted approach to content regulation and film certification aims to uphold creative expression while ensuring that it does not cross ethical boundaries. By advocating for self-regulation and introducing stringent measures against piracy, the government aims to strike a harmonious balance that protects the interests of creators, viewers, and society at large.
