The Movie Artists Association (MAA) has successfully followed through on its commitment to combat derogatory and regressive content posted on YouTube channels. To date, the organization has taken action against a total of 23 channels, with the latest group comprising 18 channels.
In a recent tweet, the Association led by Vishnu Manchu stated, “In our continuous efforts to eliminate derogatory content targeting our artists on YouTube, we have blocked an additional 18 channels that propagate harmful material. Stay updated for more developments.”
The President of MAA expressed that the Association had received numerous complaints regarding channels that were making inappropriate comments about actors and their families disguised as humor. Urging creators of such videos to remove them within 48 hours, Vishnu warned of impending actions including reporting to YouTube, cybersecurity complaints, and legal measures to shut down non-compliant channels. He also called upon the authorities in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to extend their support in this endeavor.
This recent initiative on Wednesday follows the apprehension of Praneeth Hanumanthu, a YouTuber, who made insensitive and improper comments in a seemingly humorous manner on the subject of child abuse during a live session with other YouTubers. Vishnu praised Sai Dharam Tej for raising awareness about the issue.
