1. In an unexpected move (it has been rumoured for over a year), amendments in the allocation of business rules have given MIB jurisdiction over regulation of online streaming services. medianama.com/2020/11/223-ib…

2. Why is this strange? Firstly, bec streaming services are not like cable TV. It's not broadcast. When you choose a show/video, you pull content. It is private viewing. What separates a streaming service like Hotstar from Porn? The content, of course, but nothing structurally
