Listen "Ofcom faces legal action over online safety"
Episode Synopsis
Can a British regulator really fine an overseas website under the banner of the Online Safety Act? In today’s edition of The Capitalist, host Marc Sidwell is joined by free speech lawyer Preston Byrne and journalist Harry Phibbs to discuss Ofcom’s £20,000 penalty against 4chan — and what it means for free expression in the digital age.The conversation then turns to calls for a one-off wealth raid to patch Britain’s public finances, and to Marc’s own argument that Margaret Thatcher’s unfinished revolution still offers Britain a blueprint for national renewal.From digital censorship to tax grabs and the battle for Britain’s economic soul, this is a sharp, timely look at what freedom really means in 2025.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.
