I think that only an idiot would ask the BBFC to say anything about the Internet.

First off, they don't even deal in the Internet (and this is a good thing), they have hardly anything to do with it.

Secondly, anything they might say is probably going to be based on whatever they think might be decent to air on television in the 1980s. Maybe, not quite that, but they are going to be hideously out of touch.

The BBFC isn't even a "regulator" for anything these days, they were replaced by a new agency a long time ago.

I'm just looking into some U.K. related stuff and the amount of nonsense is quite phenomenal.

But, yeah, the BBFC really has nothing useful to say about anything, because they're an old school censor which does work for a world which *doesn't exist*.

They are also way in over their heads and are unlikely to come up with a remotely useful take.
