Does the internet mean that the DA-Notice System is no longer operable?
• The DA-Notice system has never been a watertight, 100% system. Not only its voluntary nature, but also the enormous diversity of the British media (including some small outlets that have never followed the DA-Notice guidance), mean that it has always been a ‘damage limitation’ system. The internet has produced some new considerations, and many unanswered questions about the future, but the very size and diversity of the net means that, just because something is on a foreign website, it does not necessarily mean that it has immediately been widely seen.
