Sonu Tyagi Applauds Indian Government’s Ban on Obscene OTT Platforms
Mumbai: Renowned filmmaker and spiritual visionary Sonu Tyagi, Founder of Go Spiritual & Approach Entertainment, has expressed strong support for the Indian government’s decision to ban OTT platforms streaming obscene, vulgar, and pornographic content. The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting announced the crackdown, targeting platforms violating the Information Technology Act, 2000, and IT Rules, 2021.
The government’s action aims to safeguard society from explicit and morally degrading content, sending a powerful message that India’s digital space will not tolerate obscenity or cultural sabotage. The banned platforms were found to host content lacking narrative value, promoting nudity, and targeting younger audiences, posing risks to adolescent mental health. The Ministry’s report highlighted violations of laws such as the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986, and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Sonu Tyagi emphasized the need for content that aligns with India’s rich cultural heritage, prioritizing storytelling that fosters positivity, compassion, and societal growth. “This is a monumental step toward safeguarding our society from the harmful impact of explicit and morally degrading content,” he said. “The government’s action sends a powerful message that India’s digital space will not be a breeding ground for obscenity or cultural sabotage.” Tyagi also stressed that “creative freedom comes with a responsibility,” echoing sentiments shared by many in the industry who advocate for ethical storytelling.
