The Tech Titan Tussle: Can Ofcom's New Chair Deliver? Ian Cheshire's appointment as chair of UK media regulator Ofcom marks a significant shift in the government's approach to tackling Big Tech's behemoths.
Unlike his predecessor, Cheshire has signaled an intention to confront tech giants head on. Cheshire's willingness to take on the "tech bros" is a welcome change from the more conciliatory approach of his predecessor.
For years, Ofcom has faced criticism for being complacent and slow in addressing online safety concerns. Cheshire's words suggest he is eager to alter this narrative and make a more meaningful impact.
