Thread Name: Media Legislation - BBC & Social Media
Subject: Media Legislation - BBC & Social Media
In the wake of the Murdoch scandal, Cameron has announced that increased future legislative controls over the media, will include both the "left-leaning" BBC and Social Media:

"He said there had come a time in recent years when the income of the BBC was "so outstripping that of independent television, there was a danger of BBC News becoming rather dominant"."

Is Cameron going to use this scandal as a cover in order to sneak something poisonous in Aunty's soup?
Unsure what Cameron has in mind concerning Social Media but whatever it is, but no politician can really approve of the masses being free to share information and discuss things that actually matter..
