Petition: Ban foreign media ownership, enact a social media levy & new regulatory reform

Pass law to ban foreign & offshore ownership of UK media, enact a social-media levy to distribute media ownership across society & fund independent, local & cooperative-owned media. We believe democracy is failing as the media & political power are owned by a tiny rich elite.

OpenAI acquired TBPN, the tech talk show that frequently interviews Sam Altman, for hundreds of millions. The 11-person team will report to OpenAI's strategy chief, not a newsroom. The company calls this an "Editorial Independence Covenant" - but when you buy your interviewer, that independence becomes theoretical at best. #AIGovernance #MediaOwnership #TechAccountability

OpenAI Bought TBPN. That's Not Editorial Independence.

The profitable 11-person startup was projecting $30M in 2026 ad revenue but will abandon its advertising model entirely under OpenAI ownership.
