Call For Recommendations

Law Students across the country are invited to send recommendations on their views of OTT platforms and whether or not they should be censored by the Government with proper reasons and explanations. These recommendations will then be collected.

Background of OTT Platforms

Over the top platforms (OTT) are a streaming media service offered directly to viewers via the internet. It has become the most popular way of watching shows or movies without needing cable or a television and can be streamed through mobiles, laptops, tablets etc.

However with great power comes great responsibility. OTT platforms have many advantages but as they are evolving, several issues have come up such as, whether people should be allowed to watch whatever they want to or should there be some amount of censorship in order to curb people from watching things which could have a negative impact on them especially if they are young.

It’s a modern day issue which requires modern solutions which is why we have come up with call for recommendations to hear your point of view.
