Anti tobacco message for rich and literate indians? Lol, I think Govt. think all Indian are village people and want to educate them everywhere. Bollywood is already censored heavily I lost interest in Indian movies and shows and that's why I prefer some random streaming sites for Hollywood and international shows and movies.

Isn't the job of censor board only to censor films and give ratings? why are these maa ke laudes acting as if they're the executioner of the law?

 

[geek]

Right. Its none of their fucking business to monitor streaming services which are inherently meant for private viewership.

Netflix, Amazon explore voluntary censorship - The Economic Times

Netflix, Amazon and Hotstar are exploring a voluntary censorship code in India to cover online content, according to three people familiar with the matter. Currently unregulated, online content is gaining in India as audiences move away from traditional television.

Top players in the video-on-demand (VOD) industry met in New Delhi on Tuesday to discuss the possibility and what such a code would entail. VOD companies worry about regulatory uncertainty, censorship flipflops and court rulings that could impact their long-term business potential in India. The meeting was coordinated by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF).

“A code could set out principles to ensure that content offered on these participating platforms are free from hate speech, hate crimes, child pornography and other forms of inappropriate content. The code could also express support towards redressing complaints from consumers,” said a senior executive at one the top VOD players globally. He did not want to be named as the discussions are confidential.
