India Bans 25 OTT Platforms Including Ullu and ALTT Over Obscene Content | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The Indian government has blocked 25 OTT platforms — including Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix — for streaming obscene and pornographic content. Acting under the IT Act and 2021 Rules, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a directive to Internet Service Providers to disable access across India. The decision follows complaints from child rights bodies and warnings from regulatory councils. Platforms like Ullu had previously been ordered to take down content but reportedly re-uploaded it later. The government says many shows lacked storylines and featured prolonged explicit scenes — violating multiple Indian laws. This marks one of the strongest crackdowns on digital content in India to date.
