BSA vs The Internet What This Ruling Means for Online Media in NZ

CEO of the Free Speech Union, Stephen Franks joins Andrew Urquhart to discuss the recent ruling by the Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) regarding internet broadcasting, highlighting concerns over the authority's jurisdiction and the vague nature of their regulations. He notes that while the BSA's ruling may be legally orthodox, it appears to target specific individuals rather than addressing broader issues within the broadcasting landscape.

Urquhart also expresses disappointment at the lack of response from the broadcasting minister, Paul Goldsmith, and the potential implications for free speech in New Zealand. He emphasises the importance of maintaining a robust attitude towards free speech, especially in light of global trends that threaten it.
