Nitish Kumar writes to PM Modi, asks to censor content on Netflix and Amazon Prime

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to censor content on Netflix and Amazon Prime and other such streaming platforms. As per Nitish Kumar the rise in violence and crime against women and children is due to OTTs (Over The Top) platforms.

There is no clarity in the rules regarding streaming services, an official release quoted the chief minister as saying in the letter. The availability of “inappropriate” content without any censorship is “unacceptable”, Kumar said, urging the PM to take necessary steps to bring programmes broadcast through streaming platforms within the ambit of certification under the Cinematograph Act, 1952.

Besides, the production and broadcast of such programmes having obscene and violent content should be brought under the purview of crime so that people concerned can be punished, Kumar said.
