The BBC has the resources. Why don’t they, whenever an issue arises, put out the original service and a Gibb-approved stream alongside it and let us choose?

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

What a week: now writing both in defence of juries and against the military following unlawful orders.
Depressing that both points are contested, but you have to take law and policy topics as you find them.

Another good conversation with Ian Collins.

Paul is of course right.
Ofcom’s approach is “we have noticed you tend to over accelerate into left hand bends” when the answer is “frankly you shouldn’t be on the road at all and we’re talking away your licence”.

Platforms like X don’t have a list of algorithms, some of which are ’toxic’ and some of which are ‘nice’. It’s all one system. The profiling and targeting are built in to that system. The overall model is what produces the effect, not some specific toxic algorithms that can be turned off.
"The guidance is not enforceable".
Ofcom is hopelessly out of touch with what is a national emergency.

So, the Libertarian argument against the Oz social media limitation is the predictable combo of (i) kids will circumvent and (ii) the “slippery slope”.
Anything rather than face up to how irresponsible the device companies and SM platforms have been.

I was surprised at X adding in this location feature, but it's a rare step towards transparency from them. Wouldn't be surprised if they soon reverse it.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I have seen so many allegations on here against Farage that, if directed at any other public person with such a famously thin skin, might be expected to provoke libel suits.

I wonder, what are the odds that our fearless Revenue will vigorously pursue this?
In case you missed it: our investigation into how Sky Bet relocated to Malta to avoid £55m of tax/year This kind of thing is often reported as "perfectly proper, and there's no suggestion that any laws were broken".
But here it looks improper. Laws may have been broken.
