Bangladesh govt to make policy to protect culture and OTT platform

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said, “The government has taken an initiative to formulate a policy for the protection of culture and OTT platforms.

He said this while exchanging views with stakeholders of OTT platforms at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting at the Secretariat on Monday (March 14). Stakeholders also applauded the government’s initiative.

The Minister said, “The main purpose of this policy is to ensure that anything that conflicts with our culture, heritage, culture and values should not go to the OTT platform and upload anything that could mislead our society and the new generation. Another objective is to protect the country’s platforms from the aggression of foreign OTT platforms. At the same time, our government wants this platform and through it our entertainment and creativity to be further developed.” Rising BD
