All these apps have been accused of displaying content that contained excessively bold scenes, objectionable storylines, and content that violated social norms. Internet service providers have now been instructed to immediately block access to these platforms to prevent users from using them.

Major action taken before
It's worth noting that several major steps have been taken regarding digital content before. In July 2025, 25 OTT platforms were blocked following similar allegations.
