Amazon, Facebook, Instagram and Apple have joined Netflix, YouTube and Disney+ in complying with government requests in Europe to temporarily reduce online video bit rates as streaming demand surges during the coronavirus crisis.
"To help alleviate any potential network congestion, we will temporarily reduce bit rates for videos on Facebook and Instagram in Europe," Facebook, which has more than 300 million daily users, said in a statement. "We are committed to working with our partners to manage any bandwidth constraints during this period of heavy demand, while also ensuring people are able to remain connected using Facebook apps and services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apple, which bowed its Apple TV+ online service last November, has also voluntarily throttled its video bit rate in Europe to avoid straining the continent's network. On Friday, Europe's government and regulatory bodies have authorized the European Union's telecom operators and Internet service providers to apply exceptional measures, including the throttling of online speeds, to prevent network congestion.
