It's not up to Burnham, but #OfCom who should be taking on #GBNews but has no teeth.

@iancambrook.bsky.socialUK Main Stream Media? And, why is Farage allowed to get away with it? 🤔

@neowin.netWhile X cleared its first quarterly performance metrics, Ofcom is cross-checking the data and running parallel investigations into deepfakes and Grok safety processes under the Online Safety Act. #X #Ofcom #Grok #Regulation
@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 5/5
Ofcom itself emphasises checking safety settings, talking regularly about who children interact with & creating opportunities for them to discuss anything that feels uncomfortable.

Protecting children does not mean removing gaming from their lives.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 3/5
These findings are important for safeguarding because they show how easily relationships can begin within ordinary, enjoyable gaming experiences & extend beyond the original platform.

Parents’ biggest concern about gaming is contact with strangers.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.social🧵 1/5
More than half of children aged 3–17 who game online say they sometimes play with people they have only met online while 44% say they have at some point played with someone they first met online & later met in person.

@perkinskeighley.bsky.socialWhat does online safeguarding look like when gaming is also one of the places where children make friends?
Ofcom’s new "Growing Up Gaming" research shows just how social children’s gaming lives have become.

@spiketoday.comHow to turn off Instagram Instants and undo one you sent, plus what Ofcom's October 6 investigation into Meta covers and what it could mean.
@kevin-on-earth.bsky.social#Ofcom does not work for you or for the country as a whole. Ofcom works for its owners & thus its rules are selective.
This has been going on for years without any action from "Ofcom".
It is not fit for purpose.
@trybetter.bsky.social
@wistfulcass.bsky.socialHow TF does Farage get away with this?
What would @ofcom.bsky.social do if Zack Polanski or Andy Burnham did the same? We all know the answer?
Can Labour Govt abolish #OFCOM #Ofwat & all other useless monitoring organisations. Waste of public money. #LisaNandy must take action NOW
@matts-bluesky.bsky.social
@thetroubleclub.bsky.socialOFCOM is investigating Meta over safety checks of 'Instagram Instants' that should have been carried out in line with the Online Safety Act 2019
@worldinjest.bsky.socialTOO MUCH DATA?
Big Tech knows what we watch, search, like, buy and click.
Then Ofcom asked for data.
Suddenly, data collection became terribly burdensome.

@processorpress.bsky.socialA lone tester in a London office tried Instagram Instants for the first time and, after a bewildering flash of disappearing messages, wondered if the app had consulted a safety manual or a fortune‑telling crystal ball.
