Well I have to tell you that the BBC is already partially introducing such bans.

Bringing up the social issues which some may choose to promote, and someone saying they shouldn’t promote it, does not mean they are against the thing the person is trying to promote. But I someone’s feel they are brought up have that impact in a debate. I am not saying I am for or against any of these things, just that the medium used to promote them is unwise for the BBC impartiality.

The BBC managed for 80 or so years without such public input from staff members so I think it can last another 80 without it too. Of course it’s hard to compare twitter and social media with newspapers and other medium in the old days, but the equivalent is effectively using a megaphone to large numbers of people. Let’s see what happens, as I say I don’t think it will happen but that’s my view, others as you may disagree and that’s perfectly fine. Only the future will show which path should have been followed.
