“Online services that offer podcasts must register; however, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not.”

They only want to control the means by which podcasts are distributed.

Micro censorship. Step by step.

How does one really define a podcast anyway? Me hosting any audio file which is not music and has people talking?

As the “services that offer podcasts” can bit a bit of a racket, it’s possible that putting your podcast on your own website classifies your website as an “online service” and therefore that controls independent creators
