nested layers of regulation; From Sattra’s excess to Philimo’s lawlessness

According to the reporter of Fars News Agency Radio and Television, in the past months, the disagreement between the managers of the legal regulatory body in the field of comprehensive audio and video of the country and the Filmo platform regarding the breaking of the law by this platform in publishing content without a broadcast license related to the Fall series had made news. . In this regard, Satra announced at the same time in an announcement:

The Filmo platform has produced this collection without obtaining a legal license to produce the “Falling” series and has also published it without obtaining a publishing license. This illegal action has taken place despite Satra’s repeated warnings and correspondence and reminders of the legal process of obtaining a license and repeated neglect of this platform.

In this regard, Mohammad Hossein Sayah Taheri, a sociologist and virtual space expert, explained in a note the relationship between the legal regulatory body and ubiquitous audio and video platforms, which you can read below:

In the last few days, there have been challenges between Satra and Filmo. If we want to face it from an expert point of view, we should note that the discussion of online display systems or so-called conventional VODs has three layers, each of which is somewhat different from the other.

The first layer is “governance”; Any service in cyberspace must be manageable. Based on this logic, local platforms are preferable to foreign platforms (of course, this discussion has a religious aspect under the title of Velayat Taghut, which we will not discuss at the moment). According to the author, the National Center for Virtual Space’s opposition to the closure of Apparat Game originates from the same basis that this service should be strengthened compared to the likes of Twitch, because it is manageable in nature.

The second layer is “adjustment”; The regulator must have two properties. First of all, anyone who wants to be a regulator, for example, the radio station, must take into account the considerations of the government and the people. In a recent meeting with entrepreneurs, the Leader of the Revolution called leaving all matters to the government a “big mistake” and said: “Executive agencies should support the development of private enterprises.” That is, the set of actions of the regulator should be in such a way as to strengthen the private sector, and from this point of view, the request to shut down a system by the regulator itself is not fair.

Secondly, security agencies or institutions are not supposed to direct their disagreements to the private sector, and because of institutional competition, violations will be allowed on a platform. This is what Hazrat Agha pointed out that “one organization makes a decision and announces it, another organization decides against it or against it and it also announces it” This should not happen and unfortunately, some of the violations of Filmo The same aspect returns.

The third layer is “platform tasks”. In the same meeting, Baz leaders said: “Legal intervention should be done in cases of violation, but arbitrary and unnecessary interventions and interferences that some institutions do without legal requirements in people’s work should be eliminated.” Here is the rule of speech season. If there has been a violation in movies like Fall, Jeeran, etc., it should be dealt with according to the law. Strictness of taste and breaking the law are both rejected, and falling into the trap of either will make the name of the regulator unpopular.
