The article describes the introduction of video streaming to ABC at an important time when this was just becoming big, the idea of having to censor certain things, episodes, shows , etc was at the time coming into play for ABC and we were able to see how they have incorporated and blocked these things (videos, language), how they will dealt with balancing censorship with their viewers and the popularity of the different shows being stream. With video streaming becoming so big, the idea of what should be shone and what not is always up in the air, so you won't certain shows on Hulu but you might find it on a smaller site that has more adult content or gruesom material that may not be able to be viewed on Hulu because it is too graphic for its site or inappropriate and they do not want to hurt the ratings of the cite (along with other cites too).
