Netflix, Prime and Disney+ face UK broadcasting regulation

Along with British streaming sites, they will be required to follow content and accessibility rules applied to traditional broadcasters, a statement said. Any "video-on-demand" platform with more than 500,000 users will need to comply with rules overseen by UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom regarding "protections from harmful material" and increased availability of subtitled, signed and audio-described programming. Britain's government headed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the move was a consequence of changing viewing habits.
