Supreme Court on Friday said the the new guidelines of the government on regulating OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have "no teeth" as there is no provision of prosecution against digital platforms showing inappropriate content. While granting interim protection from arrest to Amazon Prime Video's India head Aparna Purohit in FIRs lodged over web series Tandav, the apex court said that law has to be framed to put in place a mechanism to control OTT platforms instead of mere guidelines.
