   It worries me that regulators in #NZ don't understand the difference between a publisher and an ISP. Publishers have editors to check content before publication and are liable for what they publish. ISPs moderate after-the-fact, if at all, and users liable as the publisher, not the ISP. Offering free #LiveStreaming services to the public wouldn't be practical if every stream had to be vetted in advance:

     Making people host their own #LiveStreams, by leasing server resources and setting up #FreeCode streaming software, just shifts the problem sideways. Then instead of FB, the #PrivacyCommissioner and the #ChiefCensor would be blaming whichever ISP leased use of their server to people who used it for objectionable streams.
