The UK government wants to modernize the advertising law for streaming platforms
UK has created proposals that will allow public radio and television services to better compete with foreign streaming platforms.
The new law aims to modernize the 2003 law, which is considered “outdated,” by including services such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+. In a new “Video on Demand Code, similar to the Broadcasting Code.” The new code would allow the UK regulatory authority Ofcom to investigate and enforce standards to protecting the public from harmful material, standards that PSBs are already required to adhere to.
