This summary of the new draft #MediaBill from Hacked Off is spot-on - even the last remnants of the #Leveson reforms are being wiped away, after years of blatant refusal by the Tories to implement reforms supported by parliament. Their incentives are clear.

OH: You want to be appearing before #Leveson next week, maybe?

This landmark report provides further evidence that independent, accountable media outlets are the future of UK media - in fact, in many ways they are already more important than the mainstream, quietly providing thousands with the quality reporting they deserve.

Oh yes, it'll be the "Humblest day of his life" AGAIN #Leveson. Rupert Murdoch to be deposed in $1.6 billion defamation case against Fox https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/05/rupert-murdoch-deposed-dominion/

They were also REALLY terrible on #Leveson 2, which is one of the reasons I can't bring myself to support them financially (I routinely give money to lots of other outlets). Instead of siding with justice, they sided with the billionaire press barons. A disgrace.

This is not enough. What about news websites? They are visited by millions every day. They have a megaphone and often use it to victimise, exploit, intimidate and bully.
This press abuse is often the catalyst for a wave of social media hatred. It is a vicious cycle.
