The Digital Media Content Regulatory Council (DMCRC), the self-regulatory mechanism for OTT platforms, on November 3 asked its members to avoid unnecessary vulgarity and abusive content and told platforms to sensitise production houses in the matter. In an advisory, DMCRC chairman Justice (retired) Mukul Mudgal said, OTT platforms needed to consistently adhere to the self-regulatory framework and stay within its boundaries.
The advisory also asked OTT platforms to conduct frequent meetings with content creators and production houses to sensitise them and ensure that content was in due compliance with self-regulation frameworks, including the code of ethics.
Disney+ Hotstar, Zee5, SonyLiv, Jio Cinema, Voot, ManoramaMax, Sun Nxt, Discovery+, Yupp TV, Nee Stream and Fancode are part of DMCRC.
