Why Netflix may have ‘problem’ with broadcasting bill

Last month, the government introduced a new draft law to regulate the broadcasting sector, which will also apply to OTT platforms. The bill proposes the formation of individual content evaluation committees with members from various social groups to review and approve shows before they are released on streaming platforms. Concerned about heavy obligations, US-based streaming giant Netflix, Mukesh Ambani-owned Viacom18, and other streaming companies are reportedly planning to collectively request the government to delay or revamp the bill.
