A reply was issued to say a significant amount of time was needed to read posts. The time frames offered were short and it was not possible to issue a broadcast ready reply within that.

View attachment 4054365

The two threads they wanted comments on involved 1,575,554 words. I felt I needed longer than the times offered to understand exactly what the full story was behind both threads.
so according to the bbc you’re meant to be an all knowing being who knows everything and has read all 24 million messages on tattle.life and able to respond instantly with a response

The two threads they wanted comments on involved 1,575,554 words and 21'501 attachments. I felt I needed longer than the times offered to understand exactly what the full story was behind both threads. The first message sent on a Monday, wanted the response that Friday.
Clearly small time frame trying for a 'gotcha' moment.

I think you've put in clearly in a nutshell here. They've made you work hard to comply with requests, and as you say here you simply required a longer time frame in order to accurately provide your response.

Maybe we can complain to the Beeb that this went against their impartiality guidelines.
As the emails appear to be from the independent production company not the BBC, this might be a good idea, and interesting to hear their reply regarding who they contract in.

Why the rush to air such a crap excuse of a documentary anyway SB could’ve trawled through every Tattle post for the time it would’ve taken to make it fit / fair for broadcasting 🙄

They have no interest in fit/fair, they did no due diligence before they started, and had to cut it at the 11th hour

I mean everyone should be fairly sceptical of all journalism/media off the bat anyway but this hasn’t half made me think back to docs I’ve watched that have used that “gotcha - we contacted and didn’t hear back” move before…

I've been wondering if they were brazenly breaking the BBC rules on accuracy, balance and bias by only broadcasting interviews on two influencers where there was a death? Maybe that gives them some kind of get out clause that they don't have to do due diligence because it would be too traumatic for everyone involved? I know this is the clause the print media uses to mislead.

Last year with all the stories in the press you would think Tattle is like the dark web. But those stories were made up by lying influencers.

Take Caroline Hirons who was allowed to go on ITV and say tattle is all about death threats, despite there never once being a death threat. Then you had that shady Dr Jess and her invented stats. Once you take away the lies and hyperbole from influencers there isn't really much of a story.

I bet thats why it was cut down to a very quick 30 minutes, with so many shots of her sitting in her living room talking to herself. Literal filler content.

As soon as she died, the moderators had gone in and changed things, so it looked like there was nothing to put up a fuss about.”
This is GK lying to This Morning producers, no wonder GK wasn't allowed to mention this topic when interviewed on this morning. Nothing has been changed, the threads remain untouched.

I think Kathleen Stock from UnHerd described this more accurately with a few stray comments caught by the daughter but most of the comments were outrage at the lack of safeguarding that few others cared about. Then when influencers saw a tragedy to exploit for their own gain they were all over it like the despicable vultures they are.

Says a lot that one article in a minor publication did far more research to be balanced than a production that had 3\4 of a year. Not that I fully agree with Stocks take, but at least she showed the bigger picture.



In contrast, the story of Princess Bliss Dickson — the teenage child of influencer Sophie-May Dickson, who took her own life in February, allegedly after Tattle Life criticism — is genuinely dark and disturbing. It really does suggest we urgently need to change the norms governing female social media use — though in a way that has nothing much to do with gossip websites per se.

At the time of her death, Princess Bliss had her own TikTok account where she would pout and grind in a heartbreakingly self-conscious way for the camera, as girls these days often do. But unlike most teenagers, she had already been in the public eye for most of her life. Aged four, she was featured in a 2014 television documentary, getting a spray tan. The show was about mothers — including her own, Sophie-May Dickson — who would painfully tease hair weaves in their tiny daughters’ curls, dress them in elaborate frills and furbelows, and cover them in make-up and glitter. Some comic genius at Channel 5 called the show “Blinging Up Baby”. Gleeful pieces in the tabloids followed, and a year later the mother also appeared on This Morning to discuss the excessive “pampering” of her two girls. The die seemed to be cast. From then on, Princess Bliss and her sister would be turned into living dolls full-time — and when television ceased to be interested, Sophie-May’s social media accounts would take up the slack.

Reportedly living in supported accommodation at the time of her death, the girl is said to have read critical comments on Tattle Life, both about her mother and herself, before her overdose of prescription medicine. Campaigners are implying that these must have been instrumental in her act. In advance of the release of a coroner’s report, it is hard to see how this connection can be made for sure; not to mention that it flies in the face of all professional advice about avoiding speculation in such cases.

But what we can say, perhaps, is that the role of Tattle Life in the awful saga is somewhat double-edged. Certainly, it was a place where cruel things were being said about the mother at the time, with a few strays caught by her blameless daughters too; and I wonder if posters really think about what it is like for a loyal child of a target to read this stuff. But equally, a lot of outrage was being expressed on the girls’ behalf about the circus-like spectacle being made of their young lives. And in that sentiment, at least, the anonymous posters weren’t wrong. In fact, they were drawing attention to an issue of child safeguarding few others seemed to care about.

The this morning comments are a mess, influencers claiming they were doxxed on tattle and their address posted. I see this claim all the time but they never have any proof. I've seen tattle remove a property listing after an influencer doxxed themselves, they're hardly going to want these staying up.

This influencer has a very quiet thread and from what I can tell has never posted about her car tyres vandalised as no one on tattle has spoken about it. I don't believe her. This information about her address I'm sure she gave out.

Even if they had been changed, don't these types of forums' software produce logs of everything that happens to help troubleshoot and for security purposes? Wouldn't that prove they weren't changed? But then again, that means they'd have to read something to get real information.

the amount of influencers who will say tit like “i live in [insert town/city/village], going to drive/walk [insert miles] down [insert main street] to get to [insert shop/restaurant name/park] and they’ll share their entire property in photos and videos including their front door and car registration. or if they have kids they’ll outright show them in school uniform (even if the logo is covered it’s still unsafe as each school has a different colour) and discuss the activities said kid is going to do.

don’t even get me started on company house, like pay for a solicitor or office space!

'There are ways of disclosing someone's address without sharing the rightmove link'.
Has the penny dropped at last ironically? The influencer does this to themselves through their usual showing off online. Don't know of her but 'The Mum Life Styled' tells me all I need to know about how much she shows/ discloses about her own children 🙁

Listen, we can’t get away from the facts, which are - if you’re an influencer telling 10s of 1000s of people what you’re doing and showing your life on the internet to a global audience, then anything bad which happens is down to tattle.
Tyres slashed? Tattle
Dog tit in your garden? Tattle
Milk turned sour? Tattle
#giftedHello Fresh box missing an ingredient? Tattle
