Back in March 2024, the Government banned 18 OTT platforms for showing vulgar content, but apps like Ullu Altt were still not taken into consideration, though these platforms also showed erotic or soft porn content in the name of adult entertainment.

Reportedly, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has issued a notification directing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to disable public access within India to 24 websites identified as hosting prohibited material.
