The UK Wants To Control YouTube
The BBC signed a deal with YouTube in January. In June, the government proposed a law requiring YouTube to promote "trustworthy" news. They haven't defined "trustworthy". The paper is literally called Watch This Space. I read all of it so you don't have to. What's actually in it is worse than the rumours, just not in the way the panic videos are telling you. ⚠️ THE CONSULTATION IS OPEN UNTIL 23:59, 31 AUGUST 2026 This only becomes law if the public lets it through quietly. You can respond directly, no lobbyist required: ▸ Read the green paper: https://www.gov.uk/government/consult... ▸ Consultation hub (all documents + how to respond): https://www.gov.uk/government/collect... ▸ Or email your response directly: [email protected] SOURCES 1.
