Both artificial intelligence and the creative industries – which include news media – are central to this government’s driving mission on economic growth. To strike balance in our industrial policy, we are working closely with these sectors. We recognise the basic principle that publishers should have control over and seek payment for their work, including when thinking about the role of AI. Not only is it essential for a vibrant media landscape, in which the sector’s provision of trustworthy information is more vital than ever, it is also relevant to our ongoing work to roll out the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act as swiftly as possible. This landmark legislation will help rebalance the relationship between online platforms and those, such as publishers, who rely on them.
We also stand with journalists who endure threats merely for doing their jobs. Just because journalists are brave does not mean they should ever suffer intimidation. This goes for intimidation on social media – the Online Safety Act will introduce new protections from abuse, as well respecting recognised news publisher content.
That’s Starmer.
The scary words are “recognised” and “rebalance”. There’s going to be “offical” media which is protected. And unofficial which will be suppressed.
Ghastly fucker the man is.
“Ghastly fucker the man is.” He identifies as a man.
Well, we can agree on ghastly, but I bow to your superior knowledge on the other. I dunno if he’s a top or a bottom, or even if the terminology is in use by those extremely rare individuals, “openly gay Moslems”…
Starmer is a turd, but the Conservatives are the anus that laid that turd.
14 years lying and sniggering at their own voters, while they kept the toilet warm for Starmer.
And those journalists who are shit-scared to write anything which questions the government/WEF/Globalist narrative, will they be protected now?
It is mere coincidence that Schwabian WEF Young Global Leader and horse-toothed coke-head fascist Jacinda Ardern warned her fellow Kiwis that the government ‘will continue to be your single source of truth… Unless you hear it from us, it is not the truth’
…at roughly the same time that her fellow WEF youngster Justin Trudeau was seizing the bank accounts of protestors in Canada
…and Australia was arresting protestors
…and the EU was bringing in laws designed to shut down free speech across member states
…and Keir Starmer’s pals at the ‘Centre for Countering Digital Hate’ were trying to get Musk’s twitter shut down because it was allowing (at least some) freedom of speech.
At least we don’t (most of us) yet live under Scotland’s insanity, which criminalises wrong speech in your own home.
I’m not a massive fan of Trump, but it is beyond important that Kamala Harris doesn’t get in because she will almost certainly destroy the First Amendment and remove the US as the one remaining serious(ish) country with some sort of guaranteed protection for speech.
Rhoda @ 9.20, I doubt it.
Anyone who mentions ‘WEF’ or ‘globalist agenda’ will be labelled as a far right conspiracy theory nut job. As Peter Lynch found to his cost…..
“Having sided with Muslims and assorted wrong ‘uns to build up our voter base, and having been gifted a Tory meltdown, we realise that the only effective opposition is dependent upon the internet. So here’s our strategy to neutralise all those dissenting voices…”
I had nothing but contempt for those Europhiles who whimpered that we needed the EU and the ECHR to protect us from the Tory Bastids. But now I find myself hoping that Musk or Trump – or anyone really – will take Starmer out before it’s too late.
What was it again? Ah yes….
“1984 was a dire warning. Not! a bloody manual!”
Thing is, there always has been “official” media which is protected. Think of access to events only for “accredited” journalists; “Special Procedures” for the police to follow concerning cameras, recorders, notebooks etc. under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act when dealing with journalists; the old Boys’ Club of newspaper editors agreeing to D Notices and to politely ignore Establishment peccadilloes, etc.
“Unofficial” media consists of hoi polloi louts shouting embarrassing stuff (a.k.a.”fake news”, “disinformation” etc.) through their megaphones and undermining the “narrative”. Can’t be having that, now, can we?
Q: Whats the difference between a lunatic right wing conspiracy theory and established fact?
A: About 12 months at the moment!
“We also stand with journalists who endure threats merely for doing their jobs”.
Like Tommy Robinson!”

That’s true Norman, but that’s not the issue. The issue is whether the rest of us are allowed to laugh and point at our rulers. Even worse, it’s about – in the case of Covid, for example – whether uncorrupted scientists and doctors are allowed to laugh and point at our rulers and say ‘You are telling lies’.
In Canada it seems that it may be about to become illegal to question the veracity of the mass Indian graves bollocks, even though there isn’t a shred of evidence that it’s real and there’s a lot of evidence that it’s bollocks.
Canucks may literally be locked up for pointing out that a leftist culture war meme designed to help further smash their country apart is a lie.

The Canadian government and media used a blood libel to deliberately provoke a pogrom against Christians.
All that “human rights” legislation is not to protect you, white man.
@Steve
Quite so.
Elon Musk: ‘Kamala is the face of a much larger machine… a marionette with 100 puppetmasters. I probably know most of them. The reason (her billionaire backers are ) terrified of Trump being elected is the Epstein client list. It’s amazing that they prosecuted hundreds of January 6 protestors and not one Epstein client.’
https://x.com/ThrillaRilla369/status/1850055896874758293
You’d think the media might be interested in a story like Epstein Island, but they all magically and completely coincidentally and not at all conspiratorially decided at the same time to just not cover billionaires, politicians, royals and celebs screwing underage girls on a private island owned by a bloke who was almost certainly a CIA asset and who managed the amazing feat of killing himself in a secure jail cell specifically designed to prevent suicides at pretty much the exact moment when the cameras stopped working.
Weird!
One thing’s for sure, if Harris gets in this story is NEVER getting covered.
At least we don’t (most of us) yet live under Scotland’s insanity, which criminalises wrong speech in your own home.
I thought that was Ireland? Its so hard to keep up with this relentless race to the bottom.
I’m not worried about Starmer, his goose is cooked already. It’s just a matter of time before all those things we’re not allow to know about or mention come to fruition and he’ll either resign in embarrassment or it’ll be used as a pretext to give him the Spanish Archer.
Beat me to it, JohnM.
Ah, but Tommy isn’t a Real Journalist™, is he? Welcome to the New Britain: two-tier policing, and two-tier media.
Under proposed new rules will this sort of “two tier justice” story get an airing? This is a pre-Two-Tier case: you could argue that it’s the classic two tier problem that those who bully us get different treatment from the bullied.

No, Scotland. Ireland has recently attempted similar lunacy but for now has had to row back I think.

If they’re unable to cheat enough to overcome Trump’s legitimate votes, they’re all in deep shit.
Including Two Tier and his merry band, who had hoped to destroy Elon Musk’s businesses and imprison him. I don’t think Elon will forget.
It’s a shame Trump isn’t the fascist they keep saying he is tho.
PS – things are also looking grim on the continent. Now they’re floating a ban on central heating and hot water:
Are gas cookers bad for you? Scientists say they’re sending 40,000 Europeans to early graves a year
The new study expands our understanding of the likely extent of the human health costs of gas cooking.

It is the first time that researchers have been able to accurately estimate premature deaths from gas cooker pollution.
No, they’re serious:
For too long it has been easy to dismiss the dangers of gas cookers,” says EPHA policy manager for global public health Sara Bertucci. “Like cigarettes, people didn’t think much of the health impacts and like cigarettes, gas cookers are a little fire that fills our home with pollution.”
Just as governments helped wean citizens off cigarettes, EPHA argues they should also help us quit gas.
They’re going to help you quit being able to afford to heat your house.

See MSNBC has finally jumped the shark. Interposed shots of the Trump rally in Maddison Square Garden with the American Nazi Party one in ’39. Somebody’s going to be digging out footage of the Democrat Mayor calling out the National Guard at Kent State, aren’t they? And the troops enforcing school segregation in the Democrat South should play well. George Wallace was always photogenic for this sort of thing. Not a box I would have opened.
State of play at the moment, this can’t do much to boost Kammy’s chances. All this Nazi-Fascist stuff is already discounted in both camps. But it could piss off sufficient undecided enough to push some vote ins Trump’s direction.
‘even though there isn’t a shred of evidence that it’s real and there’s a lot of evidence that it’s bollocks.’
You’ll be happy to know that Albanese has just apologised for the number of aboriginal children who died when forced to attend boarding schools.
I’m beginning to wonder if there’s a “second paragraph” bug in the AI programme responsible for writing British newspaper articles whereby the same sentence just keeps reappearing. Here’s yet another example from today’s telegraph:-
The film that earned Tommy Robinson an 18-month prison sentence was funded by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, it has emerged.
Robinson, 41, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced on Monday for committing contempt of court 10 times by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.
Well there goes that theory. Yesterday’s guardian and the inevitable phrase shows up in paragraph 3. More research needed.
The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months for contempt of court for repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee, in breach of an injunction.
He was told that “nobody is above the law” by a judge who said the “flagrant” breaches had been done in a “sophisticated” way to ensure the false claims would achieve “maximum coverage”, reaching tens of millions of people.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had shown no remorse and there was no realistic prospect of rehabilitation, said Mr Justice Johnson, who told Woolwich crown court on Monday: “All of his actions so far suggest that he regards himself as above the law.”
Todays Daily Mail, paragraph 2.
Tommy Robinson is preparing to spend his first night of a long spell in segregation at one of the country’s most notorious prisons after he was jailed for contempt of court earlier today.
The 41-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has arrived at maximum security Belmarsh, in south-east London, where he will be kept away from other prisoners ‘for his own safety’.
Another one from todays Dsily Mail:-
Tommy Robinson faces a long spell in segregation for his own protection after being jailed for 18 months for contempt of court.
The 41-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted 10 breaches of a 2021 High Court order barring him from repeating libellous allegations against Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, who had successfully sued him.
Daily Express. Paragraph 4 (shocked face)
Tommy Robinson is returning to prison after he pleaded guilty to contempt of court after repeating libellous claims he made about a Syrian refugee.
The far-right activist repeated his remarks that schoolboy Jamal Hijazi “violently attacks young English girls in his school”, comments that led to him being ordered to pay £100,000 in damages in 2021.
The judge said “nobody is above the law” and condemned Robinson for his “flagrant” breaches of the court order.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, will now be jailed for 18 months.
Sky News
Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after he repeated false allegations about a Syrian refugee schoolboy.
The 41-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted at Woolwich Crown Court to breaching an injunction made after he was successfully sued for libel in 2021.
Breaking news:
As it turns out the Southport knife attacker was signed up to Al Quaeda [i.e. extremist Islam] literature and had Ricin. The police would have known all that soon after the attack. Say around 2 August but only just released it as he has been charged for terror offences.
Still referring to him as from a good Christian family and showing the pic aged 10.
Conspiracy moving towards fact very quickly.
“No one knows what motivated the attack on a bunch of your Swifties”. Ahem, a safe guess is available.
Meanwhile protesters appeared in court and were charged in days.
“ It’s just a matter of time before all those things we’re not allow to know about or mention come to fruition and he’ll either resign in embarrassment”
I’ve seen some comments on sites that the media is covering for something in Starmers personal life, apparently now Boris is gone personal lives are out of bounds it seems.
Assumed it was something to do with the previous rumours of a senior Labour politician having a child with his mistress
You don’t get a child by sodomising your asian queer boy (even if they identified as a woman), so TTK either has been swinging both ways or the love child is someone else.
