Lorna Woods' thinking was central to the new Online Safety Act, designed to tackle dangerous content online. After the recent riots, which many argue were fomented on social media, the law is being put to the test in the courts. We talk to Lorna alongside Nazir Afzal, former Chief Crown Prosecutor. We also look at the role the traditional media plays in the discourse around immigration with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist, at The I and Sunder Katwala, Director of the British Future thinktank. We also explore Elon Musk's X platform's new legal action against advertisers, the role of the media lawyer and Andrew Cotter explains the art of Olympic commentary.
