Content of streaming providers must carry age ratings like those of terrestrial television programmes, Hungary’s media authority said on Thursday. Reflecting a fresh amendment to Hungary’s media law, starting this year age ratings must be shown at the start of the programme or in the programme schedule for on-demand media services, the Media Council of the National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH) said in a statement, adding that the move was justified by the need to protect children across a range of platforms. Also, new technical solutions are needed to block children from accessing violent and pornographic content, the statement said.
