Why Government banned ALT Balaji including 25 App?
The government’s central idea is to increase scrutiny of the unregulated spread of adult and explicit content on digital platforms, as these sites and apps were discovered hosting crude and explicit content, usually made available with no age check or content filtering.
The ban is aimed at curbing the easy availability of pornographic material, particularly to minors, and ensuring that digital content remains within the bounds of decency and the law, they said.
