NEW DELHI: Even as major streaming services are reeling from back to back controversies and calls for boycott over their original series, Union minister for information and broadcasting Prakash Javadekar has said the government is coming up with a set of guidelines to regulate content on OTT platforms. These regulations will be released “soon”, promised Javaker, especially given the number of complaints these platforms keep racking up with every passing day.
“We have received a lot of complaints against some serials available on OTT platforms. Films and serials released on OTT platforms and digital newspapers do not come under the purview of the Press Council Act, Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act or Censor Board. We will come up with some guidelines on it soon,” the minister told ANI.
