SC is looking for the center of the center to Pil to obscene content on Ott platforms | to follow | Last news India

On Monday, the Supreme Court requested the reaction of the central government to a petition that is a regulation or the ban on obscene content on social media and the top platforms (Ott-top platforms).

A bank of Judge BR GAVAI and AG Masih also published references to Major Ott and Social Media platforms.

However, the court warned that it could have a limited scope of intervention and that the government has to enter to regulate such content.

“This applies either to the legislator or the executive. As it is, we are accused of some of the interventions of legislative and executive functions,” said the bank, referring to the recent criticism of the judiciary of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar.

At the beginning of this month, Dhankhar had criticized the judiciary after the Supreme Court had decided on the governor’s consent to state bills and that the courts could not lead the president.

The court heard a legal dispute (Pil) submitted by Uday Mahurkar, which was represented by lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain and the argument that inappropriate content was widespread online without effective checks.

The Attorney General Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the center, reported that there are already some regulations, but additional measures are considered. He repeated concerns about the exposure of children to perverse language and pictures on Ott platforms and said that the government would not treat the Pil as controversial.

“In some regular programs, the language is so perverse that two men cannot even sit together and watch,” said Mehta.

The bank agreed and found that children often do not access such content excessively, especially if they employed phones.

However, the Court emphasized that the matter issued considerable concerns and confirmed that responsibility for stricter content regulation is primarily due to legislature and executive.

In his Pil, Mahurkar applied for the court’s intervention that there was an urgent and growing social concern that “threatened to corrupt the moral structure of future generations”.

He claimed that Ott- and Social -Media platforms often organize content such as child pornography, and the lack of adequate regulations for checking and prohibiting such content, young adults and even children susceptible to “psychological effects of such exposure”.

The court found that Pil expressed “serious concerns” and agreed to hear it. The present plea marked together with similar petitions that were previously submitted so that they could be heard together.
