Well, this isn't good news for streaming fans in the UK
It's currently unclear what this"service restriction" punishment means. It's possible that a streaming platform could be temporarily banned on British shores for a yet-to-be determined length of time, or that users will be blocked from accessing certain aspects of a streaming service.
We've reached out to the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport for official clarification on how streamers could be impacted by this availability restriction. If we receive a response, we'll update this article accordingly.The thinking behind the draft Media Bill is a simple one.
According to Ofcom, linear TV viewing – whereby viewers watch shows broadcast at a specific time via terrestrial or satellite channels – has fallen significantly since 2011. Per the regulator's research, linear TV shows have seen an astonishing drop-off of 68% among 16-24 year olds. Overall, those tuning in to watch a linear series has fallen by 25% in the past 12 years. Meanwhile, one in five households – approximately 5.
If the streamers provided by Amazon, Disney, and Netflix fall foul of these new regulations, viewers will be able to formally complain to Ofcom – just as they do with traditional broadcasters – who'll have the power to dole out punishments if any company is found to have broken the rules.
