The UAE's Media Regulatory Office (MRO) has urged parents to closely monitor the content that children watch on movie platforms.

It has also recommended activating the parental control feature on streaming services to make sure kids are only watching age-appropriate content.

Authorities in the UAE had recently asked Netflix to remove certain inappropriate content, especially those targeting children.

احرصوا دائمًا على التأكد من المحتوى الذي يشاهده أولادكم من خلال تصنيفه العمري وتفعيل ميزة الرقابة الأبوية على منصات
الأفلام

Be aware of the content your children are watching through its age classification and activating the parental control feature on movie platforms. pic.twitter.com/JbL1exRfY1
