In episode 693 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta calls the new IT rules for OTT and digital media a 'government takeover of journalism and free speech'.
The new rules for OTT and digital media do not explicitly earmark their representation in self-regulatory bodies. They say this leaves a void in regulation.
The rules borrow heavily from the existing regulations and structure governing the television media, including content codes and grievance redressal structure.
Digital news, OTT platforms are required to follow broad content guidelines meant for TV & print media, while social media platforms should set up redressal systems for complaints.
The plea filed by advocates Shashank Shekhar Jha and Apurva Arhatia sought a proper institution for the monitoring and management of content on OTT and digital media platforms.
I&B Minister Prakash Javadekar said last month govt is going to bring out guidelines for OTT platforms in India, and that it has been receiving ‘a lot of complaints’.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
I wonder if we could get the govt. to take down the idiot, “Reality Check”, from BJP’s I.T. Cell. It’s like watching a snake oil salesman advertising his product.
Good regulations!! Nowhere in the world except USA & India do you hear poison against a democratically elected government especially if the govt. is right wing like Trump in America or center right like BJP in India!!
