India Bans Pakistan-Origin Content On OTT Platforms

• The Indian government's information and broadcasting ministry has directed OTT platforms to remove content originating from Pakistan.
• This action comes in response to terrorist attacks in India linked to Pakistan-based actors, including the recent attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
• The advisory is issued under the IT Rules, 2021, citing national security concerns.
• Sixteen Pakistani YouTube channels promoting provocative content have been banned, including major news outlets.
• India has a history of similar measures following past attacks, restricting Pakistani artists and media collaborations.
