Video streaming players oppose DCCC regulation model

Most video streaming platforms have opposed the idea of an institutional self-regulatory model similar to traditional media, citing a host of laws that already exist in the country to regulate problematic content. It includes content such as obscenity, indecent representation of women or anything that may be perceived as anti-national.

Recently, Hotstar, Jio, SonyLiv and Eros formed an adjudicatory body Digital Content Complaint Council (DCCC), which will be headed by a retired judge and have representations from industry and the government. Amazon Prime has refused to join the new council.
