  • ..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.
