@PolitlcsUK This is going to turn out even worse than Australia.

@prestonjbyrne I think the platforms involved will be listed in secondary legislation (= minimal scrutiny) allowed by the 'Henry VIII' powers made in the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026.

@prestonjbyrne Their censorship demands will not stop. Last week it was Grok. This week it is Henry Nowak’s murder. Next week it will be something else. Wake up, America.

@EdwardJDavey Davey always forgets that it is Ofcom who is attacking America's constitution on a regular basis. What a hypocrite.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

Client journalism is common these days at the BBC, particularly in the tech sector. This @Cressup piece diligently reproduces copy provided by Ofcom, but fails to mention that none of its imposed fines have been paid. The article's narrative is invalid.

@FcJunction He's dining at the Ritz and he doesn't know it.

@TalkTV @TVKev @Fox_Claire Try asking Reform what their policy is on the Online Safety Act, and then ask Nadine Dorries what the policy is.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@UnderSecE Madam Under Secretary of State, if you are 'deeply concerned', then the sooner a federal GRANITE act is passed the better. That's the only way to stop these trigger-happy censors.

Katy Watson on @BBCr4today Australia u-16 SM ban began with young people confirming they had avoided the ban. There was lots of talk of 'not a silver bullet', 'very little data about how it's working' etc etc.

The word 'failure' was never mentioned in the whole piece. Not once.

@prestonjbyrne Although most newspapers are now on social media, the internet remains their natural enemy because it is their competition. Newspapers needed no encouragement in the response we saw today. They all copied each other of course, but that was merely lazy journalism.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@prestonjbyrne And not one of them can define 'social media'.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

"Children are being continuously exposed to hateful, addictive and grossly distressing content"

Does that include TV and the newspapers?

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@Loingirder Ofcom is looking forward to issuing a further three thousand pages of guidance.

@Hoang_HQ Hard Rock Calling festival, Hyde Park London, Sunday 29 June 2008. Bassist is Abby Travis, who took over from Michael Steele.

@89Scunthorpe @GWSR Great 'psst' sound of the vacuum pump.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@Loingirder These police 'chiefs' say this on a regular basis. They like to keep themselves in the news, and they know the BBC is gullible enough to oblige. The same police want to see the retention of NCHIs.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@prestonjbyrne These are dark days.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@ds9trek @prestonjbyrne I fear all it confirms is that Dorries is out of control. As usual. She's a liability to Reform.

[Russ Beeby @RussBeeby]

@GBNEWS Nadine Dorries' u-turn over the Online Safety Act proves how bankrupt today's political class is. What is Reform doing with such a useless grifter?
