Proposed Indian spam crackdown would cover messaging and OTT platforms
A proposed expansion of India’s anti-spam measures would include over-the-top services and messaging applications, NDTV reports.

A proposed new crackdown on unwanted spam in India would extend to over-the-top platforms and messaging applications, NDTV reports. The proposal comes as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India separately tightens its anti-spam framework. The available source material does not specify which services would be covered or describe the obligations that platforms, telecom companies or users would face.
It also gives no details about the proposed enforcement system, penalties or the timetable for introducing the changes. The report does not say whether the proposal has been formally approved. The available information therefore points to a broader approach to spam regulation, alongside TRAI’s separate work on its existing framework.
Further details about the scope and operation of the proposed measures were not supplied.
