In a recent development, the Indian government has announced new regulations regarding online content and streaming platforms in the country. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has issued an order bringing online films and audio-visual programs under the ministry’s jurisdiction. This move aims to regulate digital content and streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, and others. The regulations require online platforms to adhere to a code of ethics and self-regulation. They must also classify their content into categories based on age suitability. Furthermore, the platforms are expected to set up a grievance redressal mechanism for user complaints. The government’s decision to regulate online content comes after concerns were raised about the lack of censorship and monitoring of digital platforms. This move is seen as a step towards ensuring that online content abides by the same standards and regulations as traditional media. The announcement has sparked a mixed reaction, with some applauding the move for bringing accountability to online platforms, while others raise concerns about potential censorship and interference with creative freedom. The regulations are expected to bring about significant changes in the way digital content is produced and consumed in India. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story.
