The LSE Truth, Trust and Technology Commission, which included Professor Andrew Murray as one of its Commissioners, has reported. This important report recommends the formation of an Independent Platform Agency (IPA) a watchdog which would evaluate the effectiveness of platform self-regulation and the development of quality journalism, reporting to Parliament and offering policy advice.
