X Prime, Fugi, MoodX & other pornographic OTT platforms banned in India
The Centre has blocked as many as 18 OTT platforms for publishing obscene, vulgar, and, in some instances, pornographic content.
According to officials, 19 websites, 10 apps (7 on Google Play Store, 3 on Apple App Store), and 57 social media accounts associated with these platforms have been disabled for public access in India.
Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Anurag Singh Thakur has repeatedly emphasized the responsibility of the platforms to not propagate obscenity, vulgarity and abuse under the guise of ‘creative expression’. On 12th March, 2024, Thakur announced that 18 OTT platforms publishing obscene and vulgar content have been taken down.
The recent decision was taken under the provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 in consultation with other Ministries/Departments of the Government of India, and domain experts specializing in media and entertainment, women’s rights, and child rights.
