Blocked 18 OTT platforms under IT rules for publishing obscene, vulgar content: Centre

The Centre has blocked 18 OTT platforms this year for publishing obscene and vulgar content, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L Murugan told the Lok Sabha. In a response to a question by Shiv Sena-UBT member Anil Desai, Murugan said the IT Rules of 2021 cast specific due diligence obligations on intermediaries to make reasonable efforts by themselves against displaying or spreading obscene or pornographic content.  https://ift.tt/jAlfKmq
