Question
The Supreme Court observed that the government’s new regulations for OTT (over-the-top) platforms lack effective measures to penalize offenders or screen objectionable content. There is no clause for punishment or fines. Justice Ashok Bhushan, leading the Bench, questioned Solicitor General Tushar Mehta about the mechanism to control and regulate these platforms. Mr. Mehta acknowledged this and said, “We can prepare a draft and present it to the court.” Based on the above, which of the following assumptions can be made?
(I) Younger generations are being led astray by watching web series on OTT platforms that contain abusive content.
(II) Producers and directors of a recently released web series are on strike after the government banned its further telecast.
(III) The government should regulate OTT platforms and ensure content is screened by a panel before release.
