FWIW, I'm not too exercised about BBC deleting those "corrupt Trump" comments.
If they were suppressing hard evidence of wrongdoing that would be concerning. But merely editing out an expression of pure opinion, less so.
I get why having just resisted litigation they might not want to fan flames.

Curiosity drove me to read it. Until then “Nuzzi” and “Lizza” were just 5 letter words, each containing two ”z”.
Now I shall shudder every time I see JFK jnr‘s name ….or their names

Our Parliament event last week brought 200+ MPs, lawyers, NGOs and funders together to talk honestly about fixing access to justice.
The message was clear: the system isn’t working, and change is overdue.

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

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.

Ofcom is hopelessly out of touch with what is a national emergency.
