Until now, content on video streaming platforms was not regulated by India’s ministry of information and broadcasting. Earlier this year, more than a dozen local and global streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Hotstar, had signed a code for self-regulation.

Netflix declined to comment. Amazon, Hotstar, Twitter and Facebook did not immediately respond for a request for comment.
