I was replying to a narrow point that the BBC is a state broadcaster. If these things go uncorrected, misinformation can spread, especially given the global perspective.

I've not read the proposal. But some things, like telephone common carriers, ISPs should be regulated to the gills. Do I trust British Telecom Open Reach now they've been privatised? No, not really, but that's the way natural monopolies work. I don't trust them any more or less than I would have done pre privatisation.
