The Government is considering a “media bill” that would “sanction” online streaming services for broadcasting offensive jokes, a senior minister has announced.
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries told Sky News that in the future, the law would “hold Netflix to account” over jokes deemed offensive.
It comes amid rising anger over a clip of comedian Jimmy Carr’s most recent Netflix special, in which he tells a joke about the deaths of thousands of members of the travelling community during the Holocaust.
