YouTube ads should be monitored like traditional media, say Lib Dems

YouTube is now the second most-watched media service in the UK behind the BBC and ahead of ITV, according to an annual Ofcom report (PA) - (PA Wire)

YouTube adverts should be vetted in the same way as traditional media to protect consumers against scams and harmful content, according to the Lib Dems.

The party said adverts on the video streaming service should be screened for “harmful and misleading content” and brought under the regulation of media watchdog Ofcom.
