New Delhi, March 3 -- The Supreme Court has urged the union government to introduce limited regulations to curb vulgar content in online media while protecting the freedom of expression of content creators.

The court also extended YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's protection from arrest and allowed him to resume his podcast 'BeerBiceps' on the condition that he "maintains decency".

Allahbadia, a popular YouTuber with more than 8 million subscribers, faced a backlash after his comments on comedian Samay Raina's show 'India's Got Latent' led to police complaints and a nationwide debate on online content standards, prompting him to approach the Supreme Court for protection.
