I started a UK government petition at petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632288 due to the latest Sam Smith video. Below is part of the petition text. Please can you sign it if you agree that music videos are becoming increasingly degraded due to being almost entirely unregulated, unlike films and videos? If we don't demand action, these videos will get worse and worse.
'Music videos are not regulated as films and video games are despite often being very sexual or violent and being totally unsuitable for children. Often, parents allow children to see music videos, not realising their nature, assuming that as it’s ‘just music’ it must be ok. Music video producers can create content that is sexual or violent without needing to display an age rating. We believe this puts the nation’s children at an unacceptable risk of being exposed to unsuitable content.'
