Streaming services: commercial advertisements.

California SB96 aims to regulate commercial advertisements on streaming services. The bill amends existing laws to establish guidelines for how these advertisements can be presented to viewers. It seeks to ensure that consumers are better informed about the nature and frequency of ads while using streaming platforms.

Supporters of SB96 argue that the bill will enhance transparency for consumers using streaming services. By regulating advertisements, it ensures that viewers are not overwhelmed by excessive commercial content and can make informed choices about their viewing experience.

Critics of SB96 contend that the bill could impose unnecessary regulations on streaming services, potentially stifling creativity and innovation in advertising. They argue that it may lead to increased costs for streaming platforms, which could ultimately be passed on to consumers in the form of higher subscription fees.
