18 OTT platforms in India have been blocked by the government for showcasing obscene, vulgar, and pornographic content. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting collaborated with various intermediaries to disable 19 websites, 10 apps (including 7 on Google Play Store and 3 on Apple App Store), and 57 social media accounts connected to these platforms. The Indian government warned the platforms multiple times before blocking them for obscene and vulgar content that portrayed women in demeaning manners, featuring nudity and sexual acts in various inappropriate contexts, which were deemed to be in violation of relevant Indian laws.
