Free Speech Union and Another v Office of Communications (Ofcom): Admn 9 Dec 2020

‘The Claimants submit that ‘broadcast material which (i) questions public policy or (ii) could undermine the advice of public health bodies or (iii) could undermine mainstream sources of information and/or (iv) which therefore could reduce trust in government or public institutions’ cannot in law be ‘harmful’ material. That means that those things cannot in law be material from whose inclusion Ofcom is entitled to secure adequate protection for the public.’
