Ofcom, the organisation responsible for policing the OSA (ensuring that my consensual, ethical audio porn has to be blocked in the UK), has decided that aggressive online misogyny isn’t that big a problem actually and we should all calm down.

Off the back of a ‘study’ where they spoke to 38 men.

Absolute fucking joke.

Jfc we need a new rule for government reports. your minimum sample size needs to be at least an integer percentage of the population the report is about.

I'd prefer a two digit percentage of the population, but it appears they need to work their way up a very, very, long way.
