              Obscenity is not defined and this can be used to suppress our Freedom of Speech

                  Exactly what’s happening they passing the law the “broadcasting Bill “to regulate and control all creators that’s are online like on youtube or instagram and they have to register with the Government as broadcasters and if their content is violating thelaw they could face fines from 50 Lacs to 2 crore plus.

                  You are free to say whatever you want, you are not free from the consequence of that choice!!!

                  I still remember what AIB had to do. IGL is going that way as well

                      Reminds me of the quote from Idi Amin โ€” ‘There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech.’ Sad ..

                      To get an answer to this simply google bollywood movies, series, songs, shows with vulgar meanings and abuses and you’ll get your answer. Censor boards have been allowing them for ages.
