Notice issued to just three OTT platforms Netflix, Prime Video and Hotstar but why? As Bapun Raz said their are a lot of other OTT platforms in India much having much worst content, all platforms should be checked.

SC is worried about OTT services which requires consent and subscription to watch. Most content even comes with age warning. Meanwhile social media sites and youtube are full of hatred and vulgar activity. But no ones bothered to regulate these.

Waste of time and resources, if someone wants to see the. They will get to see it on a global platform if not regional. It's like piracy. If you block local they'll go global.

Notice is for all OTT as article 14 prevent any discremination in front of law so government cannot Create site specific law/rules as if they do then article 13 will make those law void but as usual news site tweak it to get more traffic and eye catching headline.

Here most important word is Like before name of those big 3 OTT

There is no right to choose but Expression is a fundamental right under article 19. And so it's not absolute right. So state has the power to impose reasonable restrictions on these fundamental rights subject to judicial review. That's how constitution is written.

Why SC don't do something to stop population???
Resources are exhausting day by day.

I m not talking about fundamental rights. They r mere jokes. I m talking about general rights a human being has.
