"The BSA chose, for its precedent-setting foray into digital jurisdiction, the loudest, best-funded, most politically connected antagonist available."

I'm not sure that's fair to the BSA. As Edwards says, the BSA opened itself up to complaints about digital broadcasts in 2020. I doubt it was their desire that the first actionable one happened to be against The Pratfarm.

Just listening to Duncan Greive's 7 May special edition of The Fold on the government's decision to abolish the BSA;

https://thespinoff.co.nz/podcasts/the-fold

I stand corrected on my suggestion that the BSA could theoretically accept complaints against podcasts. Greive mentioned that "on demand" services are specifically exempted from BSA jurisdiction. Confining them to regulating only live broadcasts.

#MeaCulpa #BSA #TheFold #TheSpinoff #podcasts

So if there is a media regulator empowered by the state, it needs to be very carefully designed. Its power constrained and tightly focused. Its purpose, structure and operations regularly reviewed. Ideally by a review board including representatives from media entities and civil society orgs (eg Better Public Media, InternetNZ), as well as Parliamentarians.

We need to pressure the government to put this new body in place as part of abolishing the #BSA. Not after, maybe never.

"Removing content standards such as accuracy, balance and fairness, I think invites a significant political risk. You could end up with a rogue media operator with significant market power that chose to ignore them, with impunity. And I think that's politically dangerous, democratically it's indefensible."

This is a very complicated issue, and I'm still figuring out what I think.

" This is the sequence: tikanga #Māori called "mumbo jumbo" → #complaint filed → #BSA asserts #jurisdiction → #government #kills the BSA.

That is not a #policy timeline. That is a #protection #racket."

"Founded and operated by Ivor Jones — tohunga mau rākau wairua, kaitiaki of Māori communities, and holder of a Bachelor of Social Sciences (Psychology) from the University of Waikato — The Māori Green Lantern is not a commentary platform. It is a systematic accountability operation. "

"The BSA, established under the Broadcasting Act 1989, was Aotearoa's only legislated broadcast standards body with the power to receive complaints, investigate breaches of accuracy, fairness, and balance, and penalise broadcasters, as documented in the BSA's own jurisdiction ruling. It emerged from the post-Rogernomics deregulation era — explicitly because unregulated broadcasting produced harm. That history is being deliberately erased."

"In 2024, BSA research found that 79% of Māori, 85% of Pacific Peoples, 76% of Asian New Zealanders, and 75% of Muslims feel exposure to offensive or discriminatory content is a problem in New Zealand broadcasting"

"Imagine you live in a neighbourhood where a pack of dogs — some feral, some pretending to be pets — have been digging under the fence, biting children, fouling the water.

"For decades, the neighbourhood employed a kurī — a watchdog, te mana whanonga kaipāho — trained to hear the difference between barking and biting, between debate and dehumanisation.

"Then, one afternoon, the landlord — Paul Goldsmith, Media and Communications Minister — walks out with a press release and a pat on the back for the feral dogs, and shoots the kurī.

"Not because the kurī was failing. Because the kurī bit back."

Verrassing(?) Bindend studieadvies #BSA zorgt niet voor studiesucces 🤦

https://esb.nu/bindend-studieadvies-zorgt-niet-voor-studiesucces/

Maybe media in Aotearoa would benefit from a cross-party working group on media? One that oversees media regulation covering print, broadcast and digital media, as well as public media, in a holistic and coherent way.

It's role could be to find consensus on media legislation so it doesn't become a political football, subjecting people and organisations working in media to constant, whiplash-inducing changes of policy direction? Eg the future of the #BSA;

Lower courts, including the 3rd US Circuit Court Appeals, upheld the settlement agreement. The Lujan claimants appealed to #SCOTUS in October. SCOTUS in early 2024 rejected an emergency appeal from the same group of survivors.

Though SCOTUS did not explain its reasoning, the decision leaves in a place an appeals court decision that found that the way the #BoyScouts deal was structured largely #shielded it from review by appellate courts.

#law #rape #ChildSexCrimes #SexAbuse #pedophilia #BSA

The #BoyScoutsOfAmerica filed for #bankruptcy in 2020 after spending >$150M to settle hundreds of #abuse lawsuits between 2017 & 2019, acc/to court records. In 2022, a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware approved the reorganization plan, clearing the way for the #BSA to reemerge & creating a fund to pay survivors.

#SCOTUS #law #rape #ChildSexCrimes #SexAbuse #pedophilia #BSA

Critics of such arrangements say courts are generally not authorized to block such lawsuits. Supporters say that without protections for third-party groups, major bankruptcy deals like the ones for #Purdue & the #BoyScouts would never take effect.

#SCOTUS #law #rape #ChildSexCrimes #SexAbuse #pedophilia #BSA

In the #BoyScouts case, some of the survivors want to be able to sue independent councils that ran local scouting programs & third-party organizations, such as churches & civic groups, that supported the programs. Those third-party groups contributed billions of dollars to a #settlement trust for survivors &, under the agreement, are #shielded from future #civil #lawsuits.

#SCOTUS #law #rape #ChildSexCrimes #SexAbuse #pedophilia #BSA

The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

#law #rape #pedophilia #BSA

#SCOTUS on Monday declined to review a $2.4 billion bankruptcy settlement for the #BoyScoutsOfAmerica, rejecting an appeal from a group of #childhood #SexAbuse survivors who said the deal unlawfully blocked them from suing groups that ran local scouting programs.

One of the weirder moves by #Hegesth.

Personally (as both a #peace activist and a scouting alum), I think #Scouting may be better off without the military support in the long-term, but the rationale given for this is just bizarre.

The part of this that does concern me is that this policy would also bar Scout troops from meeting on military bases, a real problem for young people living on overseas military bases with a military parent. It seems unjust to deprive these kids of the opportunities of Scouting, just because because of Hegseth's gender paranoia and insecurities.

"Freedom from bias also features as an important factor, but perceptions of ‘bias’ are coloured by audiences’ personal views, according to new research for the Broadcasting Standards Authority."

Of course they are. Most people aren't self-aware enough to realise that they're wrong some of the time, just like everyone. Nor that there's more than one legitimate model for understanding the world, and that even a person with a twisted one can be right on facts.

Last week, Pat and Chewie of BHN did a fun analysis of the spat between The Pratform and the BSA, and between Sean Plunkett and them;

https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/pat-brittenden/episodes/BHN-Barb-Edmonds-LIVE-at-9pm--Plunket-meltdown-continues--Luxon-on-ZB-e39p3h8

I mostly agree with the distinctions they draw; they and John Campbell are "broadcasters", BHN and the Breakfast are "shows", and TVNZ is a "broadcasting company". So far, so good.

But here's where it gets... well... hairy. Which broadcasting company is accountable to the BSA for Big Hairy News?

Варианты реализации GitOps при помощи Argo CD

В «Экспресс 42» — подразделении «Фланта», которое консультирует компании по DevOps-практикам, — решили проверить, как можно реализовать GitOps по модели BSA (Base, Service, Application) с помощью Argo CD. Чистый эксперимент на тестовом репозитории. Мы попробовали четыре подхода — от отдельного ApplicationSet на каждое окружение до матричного генератора — и оценили их по изоляции окружений, соблюдению принципа DRY, поддержке временных стендов, масштабируемости и другим критериям. В статье — кратко о самой модели и каждом варианте с их плюсами и минусами.
