While international content can easily ruffle feathers, platforms try to find a balance between censorship and subscribers’ preferences. The Indian government has warned streaming platforms for showing obscene content and abusive language, and there are clauses built into contracts where acquired content should not defame anyone or lead to religious or political issues within the country. Currently, there is no authority in place to pre-screen content on OTT platforms.
