Government confirms broadcast‑style regulation for Netflix, Disney+ and more
Until now, only licensed TV channels had to comply with Ofcom's broadcasting code and accessibility requirements - and some popular streaming services in the UK were not regulated at all.
The UK's biggest video-on-demand services will have to follow the same rules on content and accessibility as traditional broadcasters, under new legislation being implemented.
