  Given what they've been up to lately I'm not entirely sure that gov.uk is a credible source on this topic either. They're saying that Ofcom "will now consult on new codes of practice" but it's really unclear what they could possibly come up with that would cover all of "social media" (including e.g. fedi) without being either completely ineffectual or a legally unacceptable violation of human rights.

  Tbf you’re probably dead on about no one covering it 😬
