UK mandatesNetflix Disney+ Amazon Prime Video to follow broadcasting rules

UK government requires Netflix Disney+ Amazon Prime Video to comply with broadcasting regulations protecting children vulnerable users. Platforms with 500k+ users must follow content accessibility rules similar to traditional broadcasters. Rules include protections from harmful material and increased availability of subtitled signed audio-described programming. UK regulator Ofcom will begin public consultation soon. This follows changing viewing habits where many young people watch streaming platforms instead of traditional TV.
