Media regulation refers to rules and directives established by authorities to govern the media sector. Key reasons for regulating media include protecting copyright, shielding children from harmful content, preventing the spread of misinformation, and sparing adults from offensive material. The main media regulators in the UK are Pegi (rating digital media content), Ofcom (protecting the public from harm), ipso (upholding standards of integrity and accuracy), ASA (regulating advertising standards), and BBFC (classifying films and videos).
