In a recent development, the Supreme Court of India has taken up a plea regarding the need for regulation of sexually explicit content on Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and social media. The court has sent a notice to the Centre, highlighting the importance of regulating such content to protect viewers, especially children, from exposure to inappropriate material. It emphasized that the primary responsibility for implementing controls on indecent content lies with the Executive and Legislature. The government, in response to the court’s notice, apprised it of the current regulations in place and also discussed the possibility of introducing additional restrictions to tackle the issue effectively. This move comes in the wake of growing concerns about the easy accessibility of explicit content on various online platforms and the impact it can have on society, particularly on the younger generation. The Supreme Court’s intervention underscores the need for a robust regulatory framework to govern the dissemination of such content and ensure that it complies with the country’s cultural and moral values. As the debate on censorship and content regulation continues to evolve in the digital age, stakeholders are closely watching how the government and judiciary navigate this complex terrain to strike a balance between freedom of expression and the protection of public morality. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
