    Media regulation refers to rules and directives established by governing authorities regarding the media sector. Regulations are needed to prevent programs from showing people in a negative light, restrict inappropriate content from being viewed by children, avoid copyright infringement, and prevent misinformation. The key media regulators in the UK include Ofcom which assesses program suitability, ASA which monitors advertising standards, BBFC which classifies film content, IPSO which protects personal privacy, and PEGI which assigns age ratings for video games.
