What they ACTUALLY wrote:

Do you really not see the difference between what you wrote -
"designed to clamp down on" - and what the beeb wrote - "were never
designed or intended to support"?

It's this kind of knee-jerk, butt-hurt "everyone on the outrage bus"
reaction which'll get this whole project shut down, if anything does.

The answer lies in intelligent technical resolutions, not teenage
rebellious emails to an entirely irrelevant government body.
