Union Information & Broadcasting (I&B) Minister Prakash Javadekar during a joint press conference with Union Minister of Electronics & Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad urged over-the-top (OTT) platforms to come with self-regulatory guidelines.
His ministry prescribed the guidelines on the code of ethics for online news, OTT platforms and digital media based on a "soft-touch self-regulatory architecture" and three-tier grievance redressal mechanism for such online services.
