The Supreme Court Seeks a Response from Platforms Streaming Obscene Content

 During a recent media interview, Mr. Vishnushankar Jain, an advocate for the Supreme Court, stated: “We have brought a very serious matter before the Court. In the petition, we have demanded that there should be a check and ban on obscene and indecent content floating on social media and OTTs. We are compelled to raise this matter due to the rampant availability of pornographic, obscene, and sexually deviant content across digital platforms. It has been destroying our future generation. Such content has contributed to a rising trend of crimes against women and children. Hence, the petition has sought direction from the Centre, to lay down guidelines by constituting a ‘National Content Control Authority’ to prohibit sexually perverted content on OTT platforms and various social media platforms.” 

Observing this as a serious issue, the Supreme Court issued notice to the Centre and OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and social media platforms such as X Corp (formerly Twitter), Google, Meta Inc (formerly Facebook), and Apple, seeking their response on this matter. 

As mentioned quite often by Pujya Bapuji in His satsang discourses: “There is nothing but a cinema screen in the theatre on which only the acting, performed by actors and actresses, is projected. But watching such films shows the youth an even the educated head towards moral degeneration. When you watch the pictures (shown on the screen) – be it the actor, actress, or whatever – they arouse passionate thoughts, bringing the mind down to the lower spiritual energy centres. The pictures that pass over the cinema screen – the mansion, the beauty, or the love between the husband and the wife, etc., will not be available to the viewer in real-time, yet their mind will be longing for the same in real life. 

So, even though all the scenes are being watched on the screen, their thoughts are focused on the lower chakras, the centres of sexual desire, thereby becoming more powerful and compelling. I have seen the faces of many such youths that are suggestive of their habitual tendencies of losing their vital fluid or seminal energy. And what drives them towards this? The exciting movies that they watch at night, their minds assume the forms of the actor-actress that they watch on the screen, exciting their passion, leading to nocturnal pollution (loss of semen). So, even though it’s all imagination, be it the woman in the dream, or the actress of the movie – all is unreal; yet mere watching of her and her flirtatious gestures in the movies triggers one to do the same in the dream at night causing the loss of one’s vital fluid.
