Netflix falls under the knife of censorship in India? The streaming service refuses

While Sacred Games on Netflix aroused much controversy because of its badually explicit scenes and lyrics, the second season of the series might well turn to "sanskari", as the platform would have agreed to censor its content for the Indian public.However, Netflix has denied any such developments.

After a meeting with the Ministry of information and broadcasting, Netflix agreed to introduce a "self-regulation" and to adopt the "best international practice" for its content in India, according to The Print.Not just Netflix, even Hotstar would have accepted the censorship policy. I accepted.

"Yes, there had been a discussion about self-regulation and Netflix and Hotstar agreed that they should settle their content," said a senior ministry official quoted by The Print . However, Netflix promptly issued a statement that the report was false.

"The information cited is inaccurate and totally false and Netflix has never participated in this meeting," the statement said.

While television and movies in India have been under a self-regulatory agreement for a long time, over-the-top (OTT) platforms such as Netflix were up to the point of view. now free from all censorship.

Having been freed from all censorship, Sacred Games included a lot of frontal nudity and explicit dialogues.

Meanwhile, this report of self-regulation on Netflix did not meet much. People who were happy to have access to uncensored content on the platform are extremely disappointed with this speculation. Some even said that they would unsubscribe from the channel. Nevertheless, they can sigh with relief when Netflix denies the rumor.
