The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is exploring a statutory framework to oversee OTT content deemed offensive to societal moral standards, as revealed by a parliamentary committee report in the Lok Sabha, according to BJP MP Satish Kumar Gautam. The proposed framework may also establish an independent post-release review panel to scrutinize flagged content and suggest corrective measures.
The Home Ministry disclosed this on August 7 in response to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs, which had evaluated the regulation of OTT platforms and safeguarding children from inappropriate material.
