The government has been paying special attention to OTT platforms and digital content for some time now. The reason for this is that the number of users watching web series, movies and short videos is increasing rapidly across the country. In such a situation, regulations in the digital sector have been tightened, so that the audience, especially children, can be protected from harmful content. There are still some users who are trying to use the banned platforms. But they are facing problems while logging in. If you have downloaded any OTT platforms banned by the government in your phone, delete them immediately.
