The government agency recently teamed with Netflix for the proper use of parental controls, even while the MTRCB reiterates the necessity to regulate shows on online streaming platforms like Netflix.
According to MTRCB chairperson Lala Sotto-Antonio, “We at the MTRCB watch out for the welfare of Filipino viewers of all ages, which is why safeguards must be in place to protect young children from being exposed to content that is not appropriate for their age.”
Through their collaboration, MTRCB and Netflix hope to guarantee that the platform used by the streaming behemoth’s programming is accessible to people of all ages. In order to make this function, Netflix will advertise its in-app parental controls tool, which enables users to set a PIN number and a separate “Kids” account for younger viewers.
The MTRCB is hopeful that local and international streaming services will imitate Netflix’s efforts. Additionally, it states that its agency welcomes chances for partnerships that serve to defend Filipinos’ interests.
Filipinos are unsure how the MTRCB will be able to control shows from streaming services, so their best alternative at the moment is this cooperation with Netflix. This is a wonderful approach to advertise Netflix’s (and other streaming services’) parental control capabilities in addition to being able to control shows appropriately.
