Full Fact

The accepted root operational note records Ofcom's statement 3.46–47/footnote29, PDF17, identifying Full Fact's response p17 and an Ofcom/DSIT meeting on 4 August 2025 as inputs to questions about the interaction. Ofcom's resulting amendment says providers should consider an Ofcom public statement notice alongside their other indicators.

These are proposed process safeguards, not evidence that an affected user's post or account would be restored or that a particular appeal succeeded. Full Fact's proportionality argument also criticizes a focus on minimizing provider costs and asks that the severity of harms be weighed (paragraphs86–90, PDF20). Its argument combines stronger intervention with accountability; either half alone would misrepresent the response.

The Companies House overview, PUBLIC privacy identity section, Full Fact Chapter 3/footnotes and official FOI inventory were read through the public web reader. Their original response bytes were not retained in this lane. No hashes are claimed for those web-reader-only scopes.

Full Fact offers unusually precise evidence of input and institutional response. Ofcom attributes a notice-indicator amendment to its submission and questions from an earlier DSIT meeting. A notice becomes an indicator to consider; the provider retains its criteria-based crisis determination. The record supports a specific contribution while leaving the meeting's underlying records and other decisions unacquired. Influence is visible without assuming wholesale control. A8
