Control facebook youtube. Twitter as well.... Urgent

[minikhekhan]

This won't curb freedom of speech
But it would definitely curb nonsense promoted on OTT. Good decision 👏

[CyPsyGuy]

Good. I was getting sick of horrendous alt-balaji ads.

[missbloodymary]

Now some people's will say government is taking their freedom of speech.

[lilkshmr]

I hope this doesn't affect the quality of contents though.

[zenithpatel]

Good news, they were getting out of control...

[shekhar]

The government should create balance between quality content and soft porn.

[vishalh]

Good .. finally shows of alt balaji will have some restrictions

[thephantomofyoutube]

Hope they don't start censoring content...

[Akhil-ivtj]

Don't really understand why this being done.
Creative freedom is something that shouldn't be censored.
Anyone should be able to make content on any topic no matter if it seems offensive to some .
No one should censor anyone's right to create it.
We should criticize it & take action if needed after it but not deny it's creation.
We're skating on thin ice.
And if the govt ( any govt ) has more power than it should then things can go south like it has in China.
