BSA Issues Decision On Online Broadcasting ComplaintsThe Broadcasting Standards Authority has upheld two complaints about online broadcasts by The Platform. A BSA decision released today relates to two complaints by the same person, about two broadcasts on 22 July and 15 October 2025. The complainant is still the target of mocking and abusive comments online, even on unrelated matters,” the BSA says. In its decision, the Authority notes freedom of expression is a vitally important human right and the starting point of every decision it issues, but this right has always come with limits. The decision published today follows a decision in March in which the BSA confirmed it had jurisdiction under the Broadcasting Act to consider a complaint about The Platform, the first formal complaint referral it has received about an online broadcaster since publishing its policy on online broadcasters in 2020.
