India blocks 5 OTT platforms for obscene content under IT Act.

The Indian government has blocked five OTT platforms—MoodXVIP, Koyal Playpro, Digi Movieplex, Feel, and Jugnu—for distributing obscene content, citing violations of the IT Act and digital media rules. The move, led by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and supported by multiple agencies, follows a similar 2025 crackdown that targeted 25 other platforms. Authorities cited graphic sexual content, nudity, and inappropriate depictions as reasons for the blocks, emphasizing compliance with public decency and legal standards. The action, taken under Section 69A of the IT Act, directs internet service providers to restrict access and reflects ongoing regulatory efforts to enforce digital content guidelines.
