      Because the rules should apply to everyone, obviously.

      Edit: and because GB News has been breaking them for ages now.

        Seems then like there’s no real reason to block applying the rules to streamers while trying to prosecute GB news.

        What I didn’t realise when writing my first comment was that GB News has already been fined for breaching Ofcom rules.
