..Ofcom, the media regulator, which dropped a job ad on LinkedIn for a
role combating children’s access to illegal content and pornography
with the apercu, “Always wanted to work in porn but don’t have the
feet for an OnlyFans? Now is your chance.”
You can see how they got there, via the crushing pressure to be jaunty
on socials and the promise of winning public recognition as a team
leader, yes, but as one with the soul of an entertainer. Ofcom
promptly self-regulated and apologised for the post, putting it down
to “a mistake from a well-intentioned colleague wishing to attract
attention to a recruitment post” – but it was too late. A sharp
reprimand from Lady Kidron, a crossbench peer who campaigns for the
protection of children online, reminded the regulator of something
that apparently can’t be said too often enough or directed too far up
the chain: that they are supposed to be the “grown-ups” in the room.
