Government reaffirms 30% Netflix local content quota

[BeerIsNotGood...]

The establishment of a team that would be able to blacklist, block, require banks to halt transfers of payments of subscribers of international streaming services. This China-esque “censorship bureau”

Wtf???

Government reaffirms 30% Netflix local content quota

The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) has stressed the importance of imposing a 30% local content quota on Netflix and other international streaming services.

There is a reason we subscribe to Netflix SA
And it is because we do NOT want to watch local content, if we did we would still be on SABC

I'd like to correct the title to say: Government reaffirms their own utter idiocy and incompetence.

This is the same failed apartment (dis)ably led by the delinquent, Stella? This is also the department that is trying to run the SABC into the ground. Righto. Seems their ludicrousness knowns no boundaries. That said, stress is something they don't know too much about.

“What this means is that we are trying to create opportunities for the production and creative industry sector.”

Every country in the world has a creative artistic industry.
Every country in the world has to compete for viewers, air time etc .......

But in SA, we are going to tell the world how its gonna be. We are going to impose our EE and AA rules on the world?

Well, no guessing on how thats going to work out.
