Well yeah, the comments section is something else. But I remember reading an analysis of the differences, and while they contained a lot of the same content, the online version of the Daily Mail went far harder in promoting their celebrity and lifestyle stuff, whereas the newspaper gave more prominence to the anti-immigrant stuff and right-wing opinion columns. Partly because they were trying to get a big American audience.really, I don't get that at all, esp when it comes to the comment sections - which are a fkn free-for-all for nutters
It's not as difficult as they like to make out. They force ISPs to block websites all the time. And sure, there are ways around it, but it's a death sentence for any website that's aimed exclusively at a British audience to not be accessible to a UK audience without some sort of VPN. The EU regularly sanctions US technology companies. India threatened to block them if they didn't remove certain content.
Interestingly, the newspapers are actually less toxic online than they are in print for the most part.
Well yeah, but the allegation was if they went exclusively online, they would become more extreme.It's technologically possible. It's just not politically or legally possible. GB News doesn't output incitement and walks the tightrope on hateful and false content. We all know that e.g Farage means something different than what he actually states, but it would be difficult to enforce a reading between the lines interpretation on what content producers say.
You're right, it's not bizarre at all.It isnt bizarre because its reality. News and journalists who are involved in it have to abide by standards that are regulated and can be upheld by Ofcom, and other statutory bodies. Ie, sources and facts that can be checked. Of course it will get worse, because they wont be subject to those checks. Which is what they know and why they will have no choice but to go online. This is why those who decry the nebulous term 'MSM' are so fucking stupid, they dont understand this. Yet they find validation in their ironic belief that they are cleverer than anyone else
