India blocks five OTT platforms for streaming obscene content
Change
India ordered internet service providers to block access to five over‑the‑top streaming platforms — MoodXVIP, Koyal Playpro, Digi Movieplex, Feel, and Jugnu — under the Information Technology Rules 2021 and Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Why it matters
Standard internet access to the named platforms is now effectively unavailable to users inside India unless blocks are lifted or bypassed. Intermediaries and hosting services must implement the government blocking orders or face enforcement under the Information Technology Act.
Implications
- • Internet service providers must implement access restrictions for the five named platforms in line with the government's blocking directives.
- • Operators of the named OTT services must remove the alleged obscene content or pursue legal remedies to seek delisting of the blocking orders.
