I suppose it was obvious that with the growth of the VoD industry, government legislation would be passed to 'protect viewers against harmful content'.
What are your thoughts on the Media Bill?
Video-on-demand services (VoD)
Most video-on-demand services are not covered by Ofcom’s Broadcasting Code, which sets the content standards for harmful, offensive and accurate material found on television. Some services are not regulated in the UK at all, despite being much more popular with younger people than traditional broadcasters are. Consequently, the Media Bill aims to level the playing field between public service broadcasters and video-on-demand services.
