@SparkMailApp your app is entirely unusable currently on iOS. Keeps asking for authentication across multiple different 365 accounts from different orgs. Have removed them, deleted app, started again, still get popups every few minutes. It is literally unusable.
I created a new test account here. I wanted to see what content it pushed to me. I did not follow a single person, do a single search or interact with a single post. Here are the notifications I received.
My feed is flooded (99%) with extremist (mainly AI) content in a way I’ve never seen before. It’s happened in the last two days - like someone flicked a switch. It’s not subtle. I’m not even seeing whimsical football posts or jumping cats. The aim is clear. Stir hatred & unrest
@bedfordblue968 It’s all very paradoxical Noel. I think death is beyond being right of left. And just because someone says something on the radio or TV doesn’t even mean they believe it. It’s often an act. Hope all’s well with you dear listener!!
I rarely post. I scroll sometimes. But the threads of hatred/bile hours after James Whale died are a final straw. Is this what we’ve become? I didn’t share his politics/views. I disagree with almost all he said. But when I worked in the same newsroom, he was supportive and kind
In my broadcast career, I must have done, who knows, 7-8000 interviews. This was one of the rare ones which stopped me in my tracks and I could feel myself choking up as Eve told her story
Turn Up The Volume!

@AlexHealeyAudio@NickyHorne@tonyblackburn@BBCRadio2@Ofcom 2/2 know the criteria. Public interest. Leading creativity etc. 2 Extra did none of this, so couldn't be justified, not least as the BBC can't use its power privilege to quash commercial entities. Competition, **yes**. Abuse of publicly funded power, no. I don't think it's deep.
@AlexHealeyAudio@NickyHorne@tonyblackburn@BBCRadio2@Ofcom Here's the thing - the people in this thread probably agree to around 98-99%. However, the BBC has a phenomenal position of strength and power - and that is publicly funded. To maintain the privilege of that power, it needs to justify how it spends public money - and we all 1/2
@NickyHorne@AlexHealeyAudio@tonyblackburn@BBCRadio2@Ofcom Or just Sounds. It literally has a ready made platform with huge reach where it’s very happy to place Sounds only music shows. I know there’s the accessibility question but it becomes less the case as time moves on. Some of the most tec comfortable people I know are 75+!
