In the 1990s #BBC staff were building community-based digital social media. They were blocked. We got Silicon Valley #BigTech instead. The BBC should be contributing to and building public digital infrastructure and Public AI — not renting space on extractive platforms.

Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The #BBC's public purposes are good and can be strengthened by focusing on universality, media literacy and public empowerment, epistemic security, and a mandate to act as an anchor institution for the UK's wider media ecosystem.
100
Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The Green Paper's proposed to revise new public purposes. While the #BBC contributes almost £5 billion to the economy annually, making "growth" a goal shifts focus from citizens to consumers.
100
Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The Green Paper proposes advertising and subscriptions. Terrible idea. Ads drag the #BBC into surveillance ad-tech, and increase competition with commercial broadcasters in a declining market. Subscriptions create a two-tier service. Both turn citizens into consumers.
120
Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
Funding must be universal, guaranteed, and set by an independent commission — not the Treasury. The #BBC's budget has been cut 30–40% in real terms since 2010. We need to shift from 'sustainable' (aka managed decline) to *adequate*.

Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The #BBC should answer to citizens, not politicians. @danhind and others propose a Public Service Cooperative. @VLVuk proposes a Public Media Commission. Those who pay for the BBC should govern it.

Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The #BBC should be fully independent, free from political capture. A "Forever Charter" would place it on a permanent statutory footing so it never again has to beg for its own life from the government of the day.

Federico Gaggio @federico.eurosky.social · 09/03/2026
The #BBC is not just a broadcaster. It is civic infrastructure — underpinning our shared reality in a time when the information space is being colonised by commercial interests hostile to the public good.
