[@sangitaekka]

Both Nikhil and Aakash raised a fantastic point regarding p0rn. There have been so many OTT channels that promote soft p0rn, no regulation on social media platforms leveraging them, and even ads for these channels, too. Why aren't there any stricter laws on how easy it is for children to access p0rn? Aren't we seeing news of teenagers r@ping toddlers and school-going kids? I don't see any other way than everyone expressing themselves freely, engaging with each other, and make the so called not-fit-for viewership content go viral. How many people do they expect to regulate anyway? Raising important issues is just not for the people with large following.

[@dawnm6327]

I agree with your point on the soft p0rn in OTT. Though our movies have the same soft P0rn for more than 70 years. Our movies also endorse violence of all kinds for years. Why don't parents of kids and their immediate relatives take some responsibility in bringing up their children as good human beings?

[@sangitaekka]

@@dawnm6327 We are not in the 70s. The broadcast and digital channels have evolved over the years. Parental locks are available but it is hyper unrealistic to expect parents to keep an eye on their children 24/7. Neither is it ethical. The broadcast bill and my point are beyond the concept of good human beings. It's about good governance that we definitely lack.

[@ZestyBestie01]

BJP is a big curse on India. Bringing back licence raj and draconian laws while also promoting corruption.
