It's a real dystopia if the state decides which movies you should or shouldn't watch.

Agreed, but fortunately this isn't that. Although the big the question is if this will lead more EU content being added to the services or more non-EU content being removed from the service to make the quotas. The other risk is that Netflix etc. will basically just say "go out and find me 150 hours of EU made content, I don't care what it is, for as little money as possible so we can fulfill our quota" and that this will do little or nothing to promote actual quality or interesting work.

Either way though it's still the services and not the state that decide which movies "you should or shouldn't watch"



"go out and find me 150 hours of EU made content, I don't care what it is, for as little money as possible so we can fulfill our quota"

Good news, Netflix already do this.
