The Supreme Court of India has recently taken up a petition regarding the monitoring of sexually explicit material on Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and social media, directing a notice to the Central government. In its response, the court highlighted the importance of regulating obscene content, stating that the onus primarily lies on the Executive and the Legislature. The government, in turn, apprised the court of the current regulatory framework in place and discussed the possibility of introducing further restrictions to tackle the dissemination of inappropriate content. This development comes in the wake of increasing concerns about the easy accessibility of explicit material online and its potential impact on society, especially the younger population. Stay tuned for more updates on this crucial issue as it unfolds in the country’s highest court.
