Ofcom apologises for 'ill-judged' porn joke job ad
Campaigners say the post, by a senior manager at the regulator, "trivialises" violence against women and girls.
The post - which was liked by a number of senior Ofcom staff - has been sharply criticised by Baroness Kidron, a crossbench peer who campaigns for children's rights online. "A representative of Ofcom – the organisation responsible for regulating harmful online content – making jokes about an industry which normalises violence against women, monetises sexual assault, and encourages objectification is completely reprehensible," she wrote. Campaigners have called the post "reprehensible" and say Ofcom is treating dealing with pornographic sites as a "perk" and failing to "understand the impact of porn on children."
