Why YouTube movies should be regulated – Actress Bose Alao

Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Bose Alao has called for the regulation of movies uploaded on YouTube.

In an interview, the “Rivers Between” actress, urged the National Film and Video Censors Board to prevent the proliferation of harmful content.

Bose said her movies had gone through scrutiny from the NFVCB before public consumption.

However, filmmakers tend to boycott the board and upload movies without proper check.

“The government should partner with YouTube, so that any movie that does not pass through the Board should be removed.

“It is importance to regulate digital platforms to protect young audiences from harmful content.”

“Many people who indulge in certain vices do not finish watching the movies that portray those acts. They just speak from the view of what they saw and not what happened at the end. Most movies usually show the negative consequences of indulging in those vices.

“I think portraying such vices in movies might be affecting the young ones”.

Bose, 39, rose to fame after her debut in a Yoruba film, Itakun.

She is married to Razak Omotoyossi, a footballer and they are blessed with four children.
