Governments are locking horns with the world's best streaming services over how they should be policed, and the battle is heating up in the UK. In response to the proposed Media Bill to regulate streamers under the same rules as broadcast networks, Netflix has said that it would be "easier" to take early action by removing some movies and shows than risk being potentially liable.
Ministers had proposed the new rules last year but following criticism about the accuracy of the Harry & Megan documentary, plans were brought forward to give broadcasting regulator Ofcom the power to fine streaming services if their content doesn’t remain impartial (in the same way the broadcast channels are currently regulated).
