How effective is Film and TV regulation in the Netflix era?

The Film and TV regulation is partially ineffective in the regulation towards the Netflix era. This is due to the fact that Netflix are independent regulators. So they are able to do what they want. In some cases, Netflix will take the Film and TV regulation into consideration, however they do not have to act on these cases due to the fact that they regulate their own Content.
