"Venezuela’s sweeping new mining law, passed on April 9, is the latest in a series of domestic “reforms” purportedly directed at rebuilding the country’s energy and mining sectors. This follows years of debilitating US sanctions and disinvestment, which have seen the mining centers of the Amazonas, Bolívar, and Delta Amacuro states abandoned to governance by “criminal syndicates.” But buried deep within the text of this law is a historic concession that will redefine Venezuela’s relationship with transnational energy and mining capital for the foreseeable future, a mandate that Caracas must submit to investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS)–style arbitration.
By agreeing to resolve business lawsuits in extraterritorial courts, the Venezuelan legislature under President Delcy Rodriguez has agreed to surrender a key pillar of their authority. Under an ISDS-style system, transnational energy and mining corporations would be granted the extraordinary power to sue the Venezuelan state for enacting policies like environmental protections or minimum wage increases, which could be perceived as threatening “expected future profits.” These are dual procedural and policy tools, promoted largely by development banks and the United States government, designed to disincentivize socialist state formation in favor of “de-risking” state formation.
The inclusion of this arbitration clause is an enormous defeat for the broader Bolivarian resource nationalist project."

Más de 340 organizaciones de todo el mundo, entre ellas, Brigadas Internacionales de Paz (PBI), solicitan a los Estados una salida del #ISDS. El sistema de disputa entre inversor y Estado (ISDS, por sus siglas en inglés), que se encuentra en miles de tratados de comercio e inversión, supone una amenaza a los #DerechosHumanos y a la posibilidad de llevar a cabo transiciones ecosociales justas para las personas y el planeta.

Making the big streaming platforms subject to the same regulatory regime as the 'traditional' broadcaster looks like a good idea.... but, is OFCOM be up the task & will the enforcement mechanism(s) on hand be strong enough to dissuade the steamers from braking the rules?
Moreover, will will one or more of them launch an Investor State Dispute Settlement case against the UK, for constraining investment returns (not that they would necessarily win)?
