Please be advised that this feature contains references to sexual assault and the upset it causes. From about 0:13:

It also features a report on Twitter where, since the removal of content moderation, homophobic, sexist & racist content was reported, but no action was taken. All they did was tell them to use the block feature, which they found to be unacceptable. One of the priorities of Ofcom will be to make websites comply with their own rules on such behaviour.
So two things jump out at me there - they were unhappy being told to take some responsibility in their life and block stuff they don't like, and secondly just how are OFCOM going to make companies like X comply with our rules?
