Last Wednesday, Sean Plunket - founder and boss of alternative streaming service the Platform - read aloud a letter he'd had from the BSA telling him someone had objected to Plunket describing Māori tikanga as "mumbo jumbo" earlier this year.

It's an interesting point that the BSA is making, the legislation does not specify what broadcasting is, though when it was written that was just radio and TV.

Their argument is that the medium does not restrict their authority to exclude 'casting over internet protocol.

This hatemonger is just having a tanty about consequences for his hate.

I don't see any major issues with BSA at the moment but knowing what OFCOM is like it's just a matter of time until BSA start taking off air things the government doesn't like.
