BBC

The complainant requested information about moderation of hateful content posted by users on the BBC's social media channels. The BBC responded that the requested information was covered by the derogation and hence excluded from the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that part 1 of the information request is information that was held by the BBC for the purposes of journalism, art or literature and so was not covered by the FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the BBC advised that it does not hold information within the scope of part 2 and part of the information request. He therefore upholds the BBC’s position on part 1 of the request and requires no remedial steps to be taken in this case.

FOI 3: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 126672
