Queens Speech and the media: UK government reveals five pieces of media legislation that could have a large impact on the British journalism industry.
Streaming services like Apple TV+ face more regulation in the United Kingdom, with the government planning to bring video on-demand apps under the same rules as broadcasters.
The UK has further outlined its intent to increase its regulation of video-on-demand (VOD) services to ensure that they adhere to the same rules as traditional television channels and providers.
The government is also proposing bringing streaming giants under UK jurisdiction and making them subject to a video-on-demand code.
The British government has, in effect, declared war on American streamers including Netflix and Amazon with "major reforms" proposed.
