Android is cracking down on scam calls.
Nearly one in two Britons received a suspicious call in early 2025, according to Ofcom, and the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making these scams even more convincing.

There are currently ‘no plans’ for a third season.
It is truly Orwellian. Who is to determine what is correct and what is not correct? OFCOM, BBC Verify, the Government?

And it won’t stop with climate change. How long before we are not allowed to call Starmer the worst PM ever? Or dare to criticise his Government?
Apparently "dangerous climate lies" like claims there is no climate emergency should not be allowed to go unchallenged in TV programmes.
Ofcom’s attempt to extend this regime to American soil raises the stakes further. It asserts, in effect, that British regulators may determine what Americans are permitted to say on the American internet and that American law has no recourse. That is not a tenable position under the First Amendment, under any established principles of international jurisdiction or under any defensible conception…
