The ASA can't really enforce those rules outside of the UK. International regulators - and therefore, platforms - are aligned on this though, which is why it works.
It's unlikely this would be the case with regulating harmful content, particularly in the US market.
I think there are two factors with the US market - firstly their first amendment rights, and the attitude of the incoming Trump administration to freedom of speech.
There's also complexity with how podcasts are distributed, as they're not dependent on platforms with files able to be self hosted.
Good luck w/ that. I reported GBNews to OFCOM over this interview…who did nothing.
@gmcuk.bsky.social agreed w/ me that was misinformation…but wouldn’t contact to OFCOM to tell them.
