Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many “vested interests” will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though.

As a side note I’m pissing myself at the unintentional sinister paragraph towards the bottom.

The FSB also welcomed Ms Reeves’ proposals

Of course it did 😜

      I’m sorry what are you talking about? What’s an amp? If you need me do so something maybe start by being a little nicer. Sounds like you’re having a go at me for posting a link. That’s not very nice.

        AMP is a service Google started, ostensibly to load web pages faster on mobile devices, by hosting the website content on their AMP servers. This was always bullshit, because the limiting factor with mobile devices is almost always their mobile connection, not the back end internet connections of individual news websites. However, Google forced news sites into using AMP by not listing them in the news ribbon at the top of search and OK Google searches if they didn’t have an AMP version of their news article. Google has publicised that they stopped doing these things, but it seems they require AMP as part of other service agreements, as everyone still uses it. The real motive behind doing all this is to consolidate web traffic for Google to more easily monitor users across the internet.

        I’m sorry if I came across too harsh, I only meant it as a bit light and playful. No one is really going to feel pissy about AMP or referral links. But editing out an AMP link is a good thing and often very easy to do. Lemmy also lets you edit the post and change the url.
