The Movie Artists Association (MAA) has announced the shutdown of five YouTube channels that were posting personal attacks and false news targeting Tollywood actors and their families. The association emphasized that this is just the beginning and that they will continue to take action against similar channels in the future. The channels that have been shut down include Just Watch BBC, Trolls Raja, Bachina Lalith, Hyderabad Kurradu, and XYZEdit 007.
MAA President Manchu Vishnu recently requested digital content creators to remove videos and comments criticizing actors and actresses within 48 hours. He warned that failure to remove these trolling videos would result in action being taken against them. Vishnu expressed his anger over a recent video that made obscene comments about a father and daughter, stating that such posts against women would not be tolerated. He released a video conveying this message.
Vishnu gave a 48-hour ultimatum to those who posted trolling and obscene videos, asking them to delete such content immediately. He warned that if the videos were not removed, a complaint would be filed with cyber security authorities, and steps would be taken to ban the offending YouTube channels.
The association has also appealed to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu, and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, requesting government action against those who make trolling or dark comedy videos targeting actors.
