    They’re already being accused of being transphobic, even though BBC’s research and development has nothing to do with any of that stuff.

      Because people can view the global timeline there? Wouldn’t it make sense to only show their local timeline and disable the global one? At least they’re not making the mistake of letting people sign up there

      You can’t fault the British Broadcasting Corporation for making a poor acronym choice back in 1922. Just look at Ayds, the weight reducing diet supplement.

        But I can absolutely fault them for picking a domain name in 2023 that uses that same acronym

            I’m suggesting that “social.bbc” looks like a website for hookups

          So are they never allowed to abbreviate their name anymore?

      What? If you see that and don’t think of the British broadcasting corporation then I’d say that’s a you problem.

          British Broadcasting Corporation. A non-profit making, publically funded TV corporation in the UK. Is run according to public service guidelines. Known for its quality sports, documentary and news coverage. Considered by many to be overly liberal and have a pro-Arab, anti-US/Israel slant in its news reporting.
