OTT platforms have changed the meaning of entertainment. Movies, web series, shows, everything is now in the pocket. But some OTT platforms have crossed all the limits of content to attract the audience. Something like this started being served in the name of boldness in the content. Seeing which many
people started feeling uncomfortable. For a long time, this question kept arising on
social media that who will rein in these apps.
Now the
government has taken a direct look at it. Some such platforms, which were serving soft porn in the name of adult content, have now come on the radar. The
government has now ordered to remove these platforms and apps under the IT Act. What is called soft porn? What kind of content do these platforms show, let us tell you.
What is called soft porn?
Soft porn is that content. In which there is sexual intensity but it is not shown openly in the scene. In simple words, obscenity is served in it. But it is lightly covered. Like bold scenes, body exposure, erotic dialogues, increasing physical closeness between two people. All these are there. But there is no complete nudity or explicit
sex scenes in it.
And this is the reason why it is not counted in the category of porn. But its purpose is almost the same. Just like porn content excites a viewer, soft porn also does the same thing. These days many web series and shows are being made on this formula on many OTT platforms in the country. This is the reason why the
government has now taken strict action on it.
