California Law Limits Volume of Ads on Streaming Platforms

A new California law requires streaming platforms to maintain consistent volume levels between programs and commercials. This means no more loud surprises when a commercial interrupts your favorite show.

The law was inspired by the Federal Communications Commission’s regulations on television broadcasters, which require them to keep volume levels consistent. Now, streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video must follow suit.

This new regulation will make for a more pleasant viewing experience for users, eliminating the need to constantly adjust the volume during commercial breaks. Additionally, it will help to reduce the annoyance and disruption caused by excessively loud commercials.

While this law currently only applies in California, it could set a precedent for other states to follow suit. So, if you’re tired of being blasted with loud ads while streaming your favorite shows, you can thank California for taking a stand against noisy commercials.
