Apps like 'Ullu' serving vulgar content underscore need for OTT regulation by censor board

OTT is now a big part of the film business. The penetration of films being released on the big screen may be on a large scale, but the craze of OTT has reached most homes now. However, despite such easy accessibility and demand, the societal responsibility of these platforms has not been decided yet. Even now, the process of serving content on such apps in an irresponsible manner continues. After such said and done, obscenity, vulgar content and usage of abusive language have been normalised through OTT. After the 'India's Got Latent' controversy, a clip from Ullu app's reality show 'House Arrest' has created a ruckus on and off social media. This show, full of obscene content, has sparked anger among people. After social media outrage, demands to ban this show have been made. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has also given her reaction on this controversy and now, the issue has become political.
