NATIONAL, February 10, 2025: The National Commission for Women (NCW) Monday called on the central government to take immediate regulatory measures to address the increasing prevalence of obscene content on Over-the-Top Platforms and social media streaming sites. The statement comes in the wake of vulgar and objectionable remarks made by influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, which created a nationwide furore.

The NCW chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar has urged the government to issue strict guidelines that prevent platforms from streaming or allowing users to upload inappropriate or obscene content. The NCW has highlighted the violation of multiple legal provisions including the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, and the Information Technology Act.

These violations perpetuate harmful stereotypes and pose a direct threat to the safety and dignity of women and children, NCW noted.
