Amazon Prime Video, the streaming service of e-commerce giant has kept out of the code stating that the existing laws are adequate.

With government bringing all OTTs like Netflix, Amazon Prime and digital news sites under the purview of I&B ministry, the relevance of censorship on the web series is being questioned.

This move by the government came after its realization that a vast amount of content going up on the internet - news sites, videos, entertainment, was unregulated. This primarily happened because they were covered under the IT Act which would look into technical aspects rather than the content. In comparison to this, all other forms of media have some or the other level of scrutiny.
