> UK’s censorship agency, Ofcom

I think that is a bit of a stretch. Ofcom is the telecommunications regulator. They are responsible for censorship, but to be a censorship agency it would have to be your primary role. Starting a blog like this, suggests everything below is going to be a bit OTT. Instead of censorship we have propaganda.

Ofcom license amateur radio, but spend no time censoring it that I know of. Last week they fined Virgin media for making a hash of converting vulnerable people from analogue to digital phone lines, without regards to their telehealth monitoring systems. That sort of mundane thing is Ofcoms raison d'etre

The purpose of an entity is what it does, not what its mission statement says it should be doing.

Nice soundbite, but no, the purpose of (for instance) the Royal Mail isn't to funnel postmasters to jail.
