Fifty eight minutes into Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg (so people can verify this later), Kuenssberg played a clip of Fresh & Fit, described as a dating and fitness podcast and played this "deeply misogynistic" clip:
"If I arm you guys with the tools that you need to deal with these (bleep) modern day women. I'm happy with that. Because you know what? I'd rather be called a misogynist [BBC edit] I'd rather that, right, be called names than one of you guys killing yourself over some (bleep)".
She puts Lord Michael Grade, the Chairman of Ofcom on the spot to ask him if Ofcom will ban that podcast and relevant content from the Internet (his face was a picture as the clip was played). Grade says yes, criticising women is deemed illegal under the Online Safety Act and platforms should be removing all such content.
They're also pushing for this legislation in every other country through both legislation and demanding corporations withdraw funding from any platform that hosts such content.

As a bonus, they demanded the shut down of GB News as well. Grade isn't saying anything as there are fourteen investigations ongoing at the moment.
Oh they're going to do it to make a statement, I can see it coming. The good news is though it's going to be idiotic to enforce, the most they'll be able to do is block it and people will have proxy servers up within 5 seconds as well as other work arounds. I actually upload my stuff to Rumble as well as Odysee so this is going to effect me and why I'm reeeing so hard about it on this thread. The UK government is going to go to war with the internet autists, this should be pretty funny.
They're not going to win against Internet autists. Never underestimate the intellect and dedication they have to a cause.
I've often wondered why the BBC hasn't been under constant attack from hackers given the way they go after the internet on a regular basis because they know how bad it makes them look. This might be the sort of catalyst that finally kicks that shit off if they're dumb enough to target specific sites lots of people use. It would really damage mainstream channels in the UK as well because they know the demographic that watches television is completely dying off figuratively and literally so their websites simply being turned off through DDOS would be hilarious. I've always hated the BBC but they've been getting pretty brazen with their character assassination attempts on people and the internet generally these days.
