Exposing the insidious agenda to CENSOR UK internet content. Ian R Crane and anti-RFID campaigner Pippa King discuss the ATVOD demand that alternate news channel UK Column either become subject to 'Regulation' ... or face fines of up to £250,000.

".....David Banks tells the Guardian: "Leveson is referred to as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and by ignoring the internet, it's missing an opportunity." -- but there couldn't conceivably be any regulation that Leveson could demand of bloggers......" (It looks like they are trying to find a way)

"......The point I am making is a more modest one, namely that the internet does not claim to operate by express ethical standards, so that bloggers and others may, if they choose, act with impunity.

Arclight notes that;
The Leveson Enquiry stipulated that the new laws would not be used to target Bloggers and internet sites but a private company called ATVOD has decided to do this anyway against the recommendations of the Leveson enquiry.
Fiona Fox (head of the Science Media Centre UK) approves of fracking and a plethora of other pro corporate technologies and was a main witness for the leveson enquiry. She has been given excessive powers and works closely with the government and her charity is nearly fully funded by big corporations and some from government..
 
[Lord Leveson was right to ignore the internet in his report]

Only one page out of two thousand was dedicated to online media in Leveson's report on the British press. The editor of the most popular left-wing blog in Britain explains why he thinks this was the right approach.

Lord Leveson's report has attracted criticism from some who say only one page out of 2000 is dedicated to 'The relevance of the internet' (pg 736).

I think such criticism is misplaced. Lord Leveson did absolutely the right thing by not focusing much on the internet.
