My main online identity would be my xbox live account which is linked to youtube. I do not post on Facebook or twitter. On twitter i mainly follow my friends and transfer news for football teams. My xbox live avatar is a tanned man with a lightsaber, tampa bay buccaneers shirt and sports glasses. You would find out from youtube that I mainly play Fifa and a bit of call of duty. From my xbox account i have a good reputation and play a variety of games. My avatar does look something like me. You would find on google if you typed in my xbox name lots of Fifa videos, Fifa account, Forza leaderboards and halo account.

Levison enquirey


Leveson's remit was clear, but in one sense narrow. It was to inquire into the the "culture, practices and ethics of the press" – it made no reference to the internet. Various witnesses argued that was something of a mistake, saying that they believed there was a real risk that Leveson would recommend a greater regulatory burden to be placed on the British press, and so creating greater opportunities for unregulated websites to take advantage.

The inquiry did not chose to examine the realities of online publishing, although Leveson scored one notable success when Paul Staines, the publisher of the Guido Fawksite, decided that he would not defy the judge and took down an early draft of Alastair Campbell's witness statement as ordered – even though Staines's site is based offshore and he could have tried to claim he was outside the inquiry's jurisdiction.
The, result, though is that many questions could remain unanswered. Should news and gossip websites be regulated along the lines of whatever emerges for the press? What about high-profile tweeters with thousands of followers – individuals whose remarks are more widely read than some online news? What about English language news providers from abroad, operating under the constitutions and conventions of their own countries? Once Leveson's report is digested, a fresh debate will begin about how far regulation is practical in the internet age. But don't expect there to be much appetite for a second inquiry.
