Rishi Sunak is planning a crackdown on Netflix which would see the streaming giant policed by Ofcom.
The regulator does not currently cover Netflix, which is the most popular streaming service in the UK with 17 million households holding a subscription. But that could change if plans announced by the Government earlier this year, when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister, are written into law.
It's understood that Sunak has kept the plans to regulate the streaming service on the Government's agenda in its Media Bill despite the change in premiership, The Mirror reports. However, there is no guarantee that the proposal will be made a reality before the next general election, which is expected in 2024.
