Share Updated: Mar 4, 2021, 03:47 PM IST The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to submit before it the regulations on Over The Top (OTT) platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime while stressing that there should be some screening of shows and web series being telecast on such platforms. A Bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan said that some regulation is needed for OTT platforms as in some cases even "pornography is being shown" on such platform and a balance has to be maintained. "We want to see the regulations because we are of the view that there should be some screening of these types of films/shows... What they are showing? They are showing pornography in some films. There should be some regulations. Balance has to be maintained," said Justice Bhushan. It asked the Centre to place the recently framed regulation before it by tomorrow. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for Centre told the Court that these platforms are showing filthy things with abuses too. He said regulations will be placed before the Bench tomorrow.
