If you're a Netflix subscriber in the UK, then you might just be facing a lot fewer options to choose from in the near future. In response to the Media Bill under consideration in Parliament that would see streaming services being policed by media regulator Ofcom in the same manner as it does traditional broadcast networks, Netflixa preemptive move of pulling films & television series from its UK library to get ahead of any potential new regulations.
Image: Belgrade, Serbia – September 12, 2022: Watching TV Show The Crown on Netflix with remote control in hand. TV series is about British Royal family and Queen Elizabeth II. Responding to the measure in a submission to the UK Parliament's Culture, Media & Sport Committee, Netflix made the most obvious argument. When it comes to content libraries, there is no comparison between… say… Netflix and BBC One. The new regulation would require streamers to be on 24/7 watch over their ever-growing libraries, pulling content that may have only had a brief life on the streaming service.
Another key argument being made by the streaming services is that they are a choice, in that viewers actively log onto a streaming service and actively look for programming content. But with broadcast networks, it's much easier for a view to come across programming they consider to be harmful. Then there's the matter of what's referred to as"complaint tourism," in which streaming services in the UK could be penalized for complaints lodged with Ofcom from outside of the UK.
