Govt blocks 25 OTT platforms for streaming obscene, vulgar content
ANI The government has ordered the blocking of 25 Over the Top (OTT) platforms for airing obscene content, the information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry said on Friday. The platforms including Ullu, Gulab, Hulchul, MoodX, and Mojflix, among others, have 'obscene, vulgar and in some cases pornographic content', the ministry said in a statement. The action to disable 26 websites and 14 apps have been taken in consultation with the ministries of home affairs, electronics and IT, and women and child development, and will be enforced through the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IT Rules, 2021. The government finally cracked the whip on the 25 platforms after the I&B ministry had warned all of them back in September last year. Meanwhile, five platforms blocked earlier in March 2024, started publishing obscene content on new website domains, the ministry said. "There was hardly any storyline, theme or message in a social context. A large portion of the content was obscene and vulgar," the statement read. Content on these platforms have fallen foul of multiple sections of IT Act, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. "While these sections criminalise the publication and uploading of obscene content, the power to ban or order takedown of offending material online is governed by Section 69A of the IT Act read with Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking for Access of Information by Public) Rules, 2009," Vikram Jeet Singh, partner at law firm BTG Advaya, said. Singh pointed out this was important, since the government has in the past relied upon Section 79 of the IT Act while ordering content takedowns. In May, the web series 'House Arrest' had been taken down by Ullu after intervention by the I&B inmistry. Ullu had been censured earlier by the Digital Publisher Content Grievances Council, when over 100 web-series were asked to be removed. But after removing them, the OTT had re-uploaded the unedited versions, the ministry said. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.

The Apple TV+ original premieres November 7 with two episodes, followed by weekly drops that will wrap up the nine-episode season on December 26. The show has already been renewed for Season 2, signaling Apple's early confidence in Gilligan's next big swing, Variety reported. The series premieres November 7, 2025, on Apple TV+ with two episodes.(Apple TV+) The series comes with the tagline 'Happiness is contagious,' but the plot is still shrouded in secrecy. Rhea Seehorn, the two-time Emmy nominee who played the iconic Kim Wexler, is back in the Gilligan universe. This time she stars as Carol, described as 'the most miserable person on Earth,' tasked with somehow saving the world from happiness. Also read: Walter White's ranch-style home from Breaking Bad on sale for $4 million A mysterious world and an unsettling teaser Apple TV+ has been keeping plot details under wraps, but a cryptic 30-second teaser dropped hints at the series' eerie tone. In the clip, a woman in pink scrubs licks donuts and places them back into a box marked 'Help yourself,' complete with a smiley face. It's unsettling, strange, and very on-brand for Gilligan's knack for the bizarre. The cast includes Karolina Wydra (Sneaky Pete) and Carlos-Manuel Vesga (Donde Tú Quieras), with guest appearances by Miriam Shor (American Fiction) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death). Behind the camera, Gilligan is reuniting with some of his long-time collaborators.

Jenn Carroll and Trina Siopy are co-executive producers, while Sony Pictures Television is producing.

Speaking with Variety in 2023, Gilligan hinted at just how different this series will be. 'Pluribus has no crime, and no methamphetamine. The world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different. It's the modern world - the world we live in - but it changes very abruptly. And the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that,' Gilligan said. FAQs What does Pluribus mean? Pluribus is a Latin word meaning 'of many' or 'from many.' What did Pluribus mean in Reacher? In Reacher, 'Pluribus' was used as part of a code phrase referencing 'E Pluribus Unum,' meaning 'out of many, one.' What is E Pluribus Unum Latin for?

In the Apple TV+ series, Pluribus is not a character but the title representing a mysterious concept tied to the show's themes. When does Pluribus premiere? It debuts on November 7, 2025, on Apple TV+ with two episodes.
