      This feels pointless if they’re going to just let deeply misogynistic religions go unchallenged.

      The only thing that can really be done by government is to reinvest in community and particularly third spaces. Fat chance of that happening.

    3. No-Brother-Not-Now on

      I knew if I read far enough down that article they would have the justification for this as „reducing the effect on women and girls“.

      Not worth it for its own sake, ofc

      The manosphere influencers are already rightfully disliked by most and Ofcom has been shown to be toothless by the professional shitposters on 4chan.

      Can we have some actually tech literate members in both houses for once, please?

      By protect, it means ban them from being able to see content they don’t approve of. Perhaps instead provide an alternative model of masculine role model for these lost young men. 

      Push for a higher percentage of male teachers. Make life affordable and paternity pay more accessible, so fathers are a larger part of the kids life and families stay together. 

      Ban ban ban doesn’t work. Silencing these parasitic influencers from the incel side wont make this go away. Did Tate go away when removed from platforms and even imprisoned? 

      The ‚toxic masculinity‘ bashing message that seems so prevalent throughout culture must be addressed. It is doing more harm than good. Because those lacking nuance, self reflection, or simply too young to understand it simply take it as a personal attack. Sending them into Tate and co’s grubby hands.

      Maybe start addressing the reasons that young men start looking to these sort of people rather than start trying to hyperobserve them to report them for „toxic masculinity“ or accuse them of being mysoginists.

      Nah that’d take effort, inb4 the UK government just tries to order Youtube and streaming platforms about on what they can or can’t show and we get those blocked in the UK too. Great.

      I hate everything the mannosphere stands for. But unless laws are being broken, I don’t want my government telling me what I can and can’t watch. 

    8. How though? How are Ofcom supposed to be able to do anything? Politicians are hopeless at dealing with anything internet related.

    9. winkwinknudge_nudge on

      Are they finally taking an interest in the well beings of men and boys?

      First line:

      >Group says measures to curb harmful content will also help to tackle violence against women and girls

      Ah of course not.

      >while 91% of sextortion victims are male

      Worth remembering this is classified as violence against women and girls despite 91% of the victims being male.

      It’s a shame they’re just using this as a reason to clamp down more on internet freedoms.

    10. SillyMidOff49 on

      Cool.

      Because cracking down on it totally won’t just feed into their narrative rather than letting it continue to slope into the cringe zone as all the children that eat this slop grow up.

      Also if they’re gonna crack down on harmful misogynistic, patriarchal belief systems… are they going to tackle the elephant in the room?

    11. SmurfRiding on

      Censoring „manosphere influencers“ will just create a self-fulling prophecy.

    12. Various_Good_6964 on

      Almost a win, but not quite. Ofcom are not the people who should be solving this problem, it’s much deeper than that. Making it harder to watch the content is a low effort, low value solution.

    13. ArcherVisible5866 on

      Yeah let’s not discuss who women watch. They watch some of the most unhinged misandrists toxic influencers. If not that its them taking inspiration to start up OF accounts as soon as they hit 18

    14. geniusgravity on

      Just a full on attempt to control something they cant. MPs dont understand anything they decide to get involved with. Waste of space.

    15. Easy, make the scams they sell completely illegal and actually crack down on it. These influencers will dry up if they can’t make money grifting.

    16. t_trent_Darby on

      Censorship is always positive and never ever used for nefarious reasons.

    17. jupiterLILY on

      What a lot of people seem to miss when talking about this is that its the obsession with masculinity that’s a big part of the problem. 

      The other piece is socialisation. Our country and culture a system that teaches and incentivises various beliefs and behaviours.

      What we’re seeing with the manosphere is extreme, but its not new.

      Stopping people from seeing content won’t impact the wider cultural apparatus that disseminates the belief that men and women are inherently different and that men should broadly be in charge of most things. 

      This fantasy that this will all be fixed if we get a left wing Joe Rogan needs to be knocked on the head. 

    18. aleopardstail on

      let me guess, this will require people to prove their identity on line?

    19. GuessEnvironmental on

      The irony of this all is genz and the younger generations are way less misogynistic then the previous generations it is just the message is just more prolific. Men of genz and younger and more liberal than the older generations. This is sensationalism blaming the patriarchal attitudes of before on the generation of men the most disenfranchised its silly. The core root of the problem is patriarchal values and wealth inequality it is not the influencers who created this they are just echo chambers of a existing system of morality.

    20. bagsofsmoke on

      I saw an interesting snippet from a panel earlier. A very erudite chap made the point that it’s not the ideology espoused by manosphere influencers that’s attracting young men and boys – that’s basically immaterial. It’s the attraction of becoming part of a club or community. So the key is providing them with an alternative community they can relate to, which isn’t necessarily just a big homogenous blob of “reasonable, moderate-to-liberal, well-adjusted, non-misogynistic men and women”. By all means challenge manosphere views too (as they’re pretty abhorrent), but it would be helpful to also create communities for men where the positive aspects of masculinity can be celebrated, as distinct from femininity.

    21. peterhandy3 on

      You’d like that right? Then you’ll have totally silenced everyone with contrary opinions to the government

    22. No-Table2410 on

      Young boys mustn’t be exposed to views or act out in ways that middle aged women disapprove of, while young girls must be empowered to challenge the outdated and inherently sexist judgement of middle aged men and be free to push the envelope of acceptable behaviour without criticism. Because equality.

      Hmm, I can’t see why any teenage boy would be skeptical of authority.

    23. No-Strike-4560 on

      Well it would be nice if, just for once, we stop BLAMING young men for all the ills of the world, and actually do something to help improve their lives instead?

    24. Just an excuse to link digital id to social media accounts so they can spy, censor and punish your future AI palantir profile in the making

    25. rice_fish_and_eggs on

      It’s a problem invented entirely in the minds of middle class parents.

    26. They arent interested in protecting them, they refuse to blame misandry and feminism, its only going to get worse, men are tired of being hated by women just for existing, right now the men take their own lives, in the future they probably will take the lives of women that hate and shame them

      This shows how the UN uses feminism to spread victimhood propaganda rather than equality and justice for all
