‘They show porn’: India’s top court favours controls on web shows
Al JazeeraSupreme Court says it favours a screening mechanism for video streaming services following obscenity complaints by governing BJP party. India’s top court says it favours a screening mechanism for online video streaming services, dominated in the country by Amazon and Netflix. The United States-based streaming platforms have faced complaints from legislators belonging to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and others that some of the shows promote obscenity or offend religious beliefs. The remarks came as the Supreme Court heard a plea from Amazon’s head of India content for Prime Video, Aparna Purohit, for protection against arrest in a case involving a controversial political drama Tandav, a Hindi word for “fury”.
