Attacks on OTT are getting sharper and it is a clear indication that the days of freedom are now over. Binged informed its readers about how the government has given streaming platform a two-week ultimatum for the ultimate censorship when chopping would start at the script level itself.
Annu Kapoor said that OTTs have a lot of freedom and that’s why they are unreigned. He added,
“You will have to make society understand that it should be up to the individual to decide whether I want to watch this or something else… The day you have made up your mind that you don’t want to see nudity or hear vulgar things, it’s not in anyone’s authority, what is their status, they have no status, they are worthless as two pennies.”
He went on to say, “If there is no control over platforms like Netflix, Amazon, there will be anarchy, chaos will ensue. Under the guise of freedom of expression, they only know how to promote filth.”
Ameesha Patel, Nargis Fakhri, and now Annu Kapoor, the attack on OTT has been increasing like nothing else. Let’s wait to see how censorship affects the kind of content that OTT streams.
