Ofcom to ensure that Misogyny is covered under Twitter policies - Joanna Cherry is a star

Well this would tear apart Twitter's whole business model, so let's see how that goes!

That's encouraging. Would like to see it in practice though. But still, it's a start

Good - though you'd have hoped that 'protect the protected characteristics' would have been the automatic starting point, wouldn't you.

Wow. Can you imagine? I reckon it'd last about ten days.

- Twitter, I mean.

Which is about 10 more than it deserves.

There's a piece in the times today re SM platforms being told to protect children.

Oh can we please, please make up a UK political party of all the cross party ethical politicians.

What on earth is a sensible, gender critical woman like Cherry doing in the Woke Central SNP?! They don’t appreciate her and have tried to deselect her.
I hope she one day realises the benefits of remaining united with the rest of us in the UK, and leaves the separatist lunatic fringe to their unisex prisons, free speech ban, and failed education and economic policies.

"What on earth is a sensible, gender critical woman like Cherry doing in the Woke Central SNP?!"

I expect she was there first, @Babdoc. Why should she cede what is hers to these entryists?

Very good point

Cherry strongly favoured remaining in the EU which is also the SNP position.

She is a Shero

Yes

All stonewalled. And given money to do it

They are a lobby group.

Babdoc, most of the SNP membership is not woke. It's a loud minority of entryists and careerists who cling to wokedom in an effort to brand themselves down with the kids.

That would restrict a lot of what Mr Johnson could do, not that it would be a bad thing.

Why is anyone with any sense in the SNP?

I’d be very inclined to vote for that. I’ve had it with gritting my teeth and voting Labour, or Green, because all the others are worse. The left is now so misogynistic that the others aren’t necessarily worse — and a party of ethical people who believe in science and won’t pay lip service to current fads would be well worth supporting.

Funnily enough we've been saying the same thing in Scotsnet, please can we have some sensible politicians with evidence based policies and no trendy soundbites.

Ofcom is UK isn't it?

Twitter is USA.

They can ask but I don't see that they've got any teeth?

Social media platforms aren't exempt from regulations of countries where they operate.
Here's an article from earlier in the year with what some other countries do
