The UK government is planning tighter regulation of streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video with its new draft Media Bill.
The platforms are to be brought under the purview of regulator Ofcom, along with traditional broadcasters, with the aim of leveling the playing field.
Viewers will be able to formally complain to regulator Ofcom, which will have stronger powers to investigate and take action, including issuing fines of up to £250,000 and - in the most serious and repeated cases - restricting a service’s availability in the UK. Meanwhile, streaming services will have to provide subtitles on 80 per cent of their programs, while 10 per cent must have audio description and five per cent signed interpretation.
