The upcoming DCMS that will be used in qr payment for BRICS participants will be decentralized and open source compared to Swift. At least on paper (see chart) it looks interesting and promising #dcms #brics #opensource #crossborder #payment #decentralized #qrpay #b2b

Has the decline in community radio eroded the transformative potential it once had? What impact has the reduction in Key Commitments had on local voices and social cohesion? Read more on how we’re squandering a legacy of grassroots media in our latest post.

I am not certain what this portends but it suggests that the separation of DCMS & DSIT a few months ago may have been considered problematic by Labour

Chris Bryant has picked up both departments and it’s like 2020 all over again?

Interesting that Lisa Nandy’s got the #DCMS brief, which suggests a continuing emphasis on #LevellingUp for #culture.

We received a letter "On His Majesty's Service" allegedly from #DCMS asking us to take part in something called the #CommunityLifeSurvey. There's no link to a .gov.uk site to verify it.

I have found a DCMS page referencing the survey domain name, so I'm now happy it's legit. But it's damn sloppy to send this out without a way for a non-nerd to verify it's not a postal #phishing attack.

We responded to the DCMS consultation on Analogue Community Radio Licensing, noting several flaws in the assumptions behind the consultation, and advocating for greater protections for truly community-run providers. Read a summary here:

One of my local gaming stores had an Urbie Derby today for charity. $10 got you a primed Urbanmech, and you had 2 hours to paint it, followed by a last-mech-standing grand melee. Lots of fun, and I’m pretty happy with my Sword of Light Urbanmech.

MP John Nicolson asks Ofcom:

How come Tory MPs are interviewing the Tory Chancellor on GBNews?

#Ofcom rules are clear. MPs may not present the news or conduct political interviews.

He challenged the Ofcom boss today in the Culture Select Committee- are you satisfied with the answer?

Nice to be so early to something you create a paradox…

The House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee has just published a letter to Michelle Donelan (Secretary of State for #DCMS) following on from the hearing last week. It is pretty critical of the #MinisterialPowers the explanation for which it described as "vague, speculative and unconvincing". This was directed mainly at cl 39 #OnlineSafetyBill but also cl 157
Other issues concerned Parliamentary oversight, risk assessments and transparency. See here

For fans of ParliamentTV more must view stuff tomorrow when the Commons #DCMS Select Committee are "hosting" Julia Lopez, the Minister for Media, Data, and Digital Infrastructure. The Committee intends to ask about #DataProtection and #CyberSecurity as well as support for the #DigitalEconomy. She will be supported by a couple of civil servants: Erika Lewis, Director, Cyber Security and Digital Identity; and Sam Cannicott, Deputy Director and Head of the Office for #AI

Although I don’t have much sympathy for all opinions or people within, the new @BigBrotherWatch report on UK gov’s #DCMS hiring out monitoring companies to act as #TrustedFlaggers for #disinformation/ #misinformation has important implications for #platformRegulation. Research done through #FOI and #SARs. Examples include requesting friends-only posts to be removed because apparently posting locations of testing centres would breach the GDPR… bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/wp-cont

Subject: Testing kits confidentiality/GDPR breach post on Facebook
Morning and other Facebook colleagues,

We have a slightly urgent issue come up and was hoping you can help.
Someone seemingly from the courier company delivering test kits has posted details of where they would be delivered exposing details of distribution centres which is a breach of GDPR as well as puts those centres at risk.
We would like this removed urgently please.

Given the latest research suggesting vaccinated individuals carry the same amount of the virus as the unvaccinated, it may be that vaccine passports are no just discriminatory, they give a false sense of security.

Followed by a excel table flagging 
“Twitter volumes were also low, with approximately 3k tweets on vaccine efficacy. While several top tweets question the efficacy of the vaccine with regards to preventing transmission (e.g. David Davis MP) and express opposition to vaccine passports, many tweet replies on the Telegraph story suggest the story is misleading.”
