The ruling depends on the content, as there is no blanket prohibition on the mediums themselves. movies, tv shows, permissibility, entertainment, media, content https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OPOxGpdBrvw
It depends what you're watching. I mean, there's no blanket prohibition, for example, on a TV or mobile phone or the internet. It can be used for good, it can be used for bad. So it all goes back to what you're watching.
