Complaint regarding the BBC's response to previous complaint
"Response received does not resolve complaint"
It is disheartening to hear that the BBC fails to uphold their values with regards to bias and accuracy by not responding to the points made within the claim, instead writing a blanket statement about how the programme team was “satisfied” that their report was “accurate”.
The BBC’s editorial guidelines for accuracy were violated when Hayley Hassall states that Roblox was intended for young developers to “Earn Serious Cash” back when it first launched, when such claims never existed for over 5 years since its launch, a serious factual error violating the BBC’s editorial guidelines on accuracy.
The response also did not address why Quintin Smith was allowed to make a blanket statement about Roblox developers being childrent1, when Roblox claims that the average age of a professional Roblox developer is 25, misleading the audience to think that all Roblox developers are children.
It did not address that Roblox has taken action against games which Hassall claimed that Roblox never took action on such as “Taliban Operation” and “[13+] NO KIDS ALLLOWED”, with the latter not having an age rating.
Jullian Knight2, former chairperson of DCMS was featured in the show, but continues to face no opposition for his claim that user-to-user services need to use non-existent technologies such as “Language modification moderators”, in addition to not inviting those who oppose the Online Safety Bill such as the Open Rights Group or Big Brother Watch, who claim that the bill would severely damage privacy and security to users in the UK, which is important given the additional privacy rights that they are given in other countries, which violates the BBC’s guidelines with regards to impartiality in relation to public policy.
These inaccuracies, in addition to the response being a mere reassurance that the writers and producers responsible were satisfied, does not sufficiently resolve the complaint regarding the violations of the BBC’s editorial guidelines in the radio programme.
Neither Google Docs nor I noticed this error. However, as it is in the official complaint, it will be kept here.
Julian Knight is spelt with 1 L, not 2. See above.
