Police

Just a reminder of the recent history of the BBC and Social Media: the last major intervention was the Sambrook [Richard] review commissioned in May 2020, and reflected in new 'guidance' on 'individual use of social media' published as part of 'guidelines' in October 2020. 

The Controller of Editorial Policy, David Jordan, explained to a House of Lords committee in January 2022 how it was policed, through a sub-committee of the Board's Editorial Standards Committee, with members including [at that time] Tim Davie, Sir Nick Serota, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Sir Robbie Gibb and Ian Hargreaves. 

"I chair a meeting of the sub-committee of the executive, at which we take a report monthly on that issue to try to make sure of two things: first, that we are aware of anything that has happened and, secondly,
that we are applying a consistent yardstick to the different things that happen across the whole of the BBC, because, remember, we are talking about all our nations, the whole of England, about news and about people outside journalism altogether who also have responsibilities under the social media policy.
We think it has made a difference. We think there has been a decrease in the number of breaches of our impartiality and the bringing of the BBC into disrepute. Where we get something that is really egregious we will take significant action, but obviously we cannot reveal individual names, because these are disciplinary processes."
