One major problem - besides criminalising YouTube - is that "certain
publications" aren't actually defined in the regulations, so they
could apply to any news or website - so while it may be that the
regulations are aimed at bringing streaming TV services inline with
traditional broadcast TV, the wording could include any blog, news
site or Facebook page run out of South Africa.
