Hmmm …
I follow the news, occasionally.
With an interest in technology subjects.
One piece that has caught my eye, today?
Was that Ofcom — the UK’s media regulator — now has power to police social media sites for harmful content.
Child abuse images, decapitation videos, cyber bullying, what have you.
It’s a nice idea.
But … ?
I don’t know how much clout the UK’s regulator would have.
After all, most of the tech giants concerned — Facebook, Twitter, Weibo — are based in other counties.
Primarily, the US, Russia and China.
I think … that this move would have had more clout, had we still been members of the European Union.
Being a member of an EU regulator, Ofcom would have a lot more oomph.
