And it was quickly changed - which shows me that BBC is mindful of the content it publishes, even if it doesn't get things perfect 100% of the time, first time. -
That's why I made sure to include the word 'personal'. People often forget that these teams are made up of individuals.Comment

Yes absolutely - the teams are often quite autonomous in their operations too, even down to individual programme level in some cases.
The BBC isn't perfect by any means, but as an organisation I don't believe it's institutionally racist - it's one of the few organisations to have a department specifically to oversee diversity in its content.Comment

One of the major pissers of this for me is reading mealy-mouthed remarks from democracy-trampling politicians the world over over how sad it is that the U S of A - that shining beacon of dynastic/corporate democracy to us all - should have come to this!Comment

Trump won't attend Bidens inauguration. Biden says Trumps decision to not attend it is one of the few things he's ever agreed with Trump on.
Lisa Murkowski has become the first Republican Senator to call on Trump to resign. She says if the party doesn't distance itself from Trump she will resign from it which would make her an Independent and tip the Senate one seat further out of the Republicans hands, a move that apparently she has little to lose from doing so the threat is a real one to them.
And on Monday the filings for the Second Impeachment of Trump will be submitted and voted on in the House with the Trial set to begin on Tuesday within the Senate once the House votes to Impeach him again.Comment

Also just breaking:
Donald Trump has been permanently banned from Twitter
And whilst rioters broke their way into the Capitol Building, pushing through security and firing into the chambers Trump and Giuliani were... trying to phone the fleeing Senators to sway them into voting against the Electoral College vote for Bidens win.Comment

Having been banned by Facebook, Twitter etc including even MySpace Trump has now jouned Parler and already Apple is threatening to deplatform the App.

Well that happened sooner than predicted - Trump has all the self-control of a kitten in a feather shop.
Google has removed Parler from its app store, not one I'd heard of before this week - claims it is a platform of free speech and then lets you block posts containing words you don't like - the irony.Comment

Laughable. He literally incited a Coup and thats it? He should be facing the noose or chair.Comment

Fairly certain Twitter isn't able to press criminal charges.Comment

Parler is effectively right wing twitter; it's where the banned users go. Not JUST that; in theory it had other qualities but this is how it ended up.Originally posted by MartyG View Post
It's like how VOAT was the right wing Reddit, which also closed recently.
Honestly though this isn't somethng to celebrate; these sites were the social network equivalent of an offshore prison. It's like when Tumblr collapsed, all those people came to Twitter and the immediate effect was very apparent. As a fan of Tumblr, I didn't find this to be a problem but it won't be the same with parlerComment
